Washington D.C.: Not Actually a State, But Still Pretty Important
First up, we have Washington D.C., the granddaddy of them all (well, not chronologically, but you get the idea). D.C. stands for District of Columbia, which is a fancy way of saying it's not a state, but a special federal district that houses the U.S. government. Think of it as the brain of the American operation, where all the important decisions get made (hopefully with a healthy dose of coffee).
Fun Fact: Washington D.C. has its own professional sports teams! Though, let's be honest, they often play in the shadow of their more famous counterparts from neighboring states. Sorry, Nationals and Wizards, we still love you!
Washington State: Evergreen Playground in the Pacific Northwest
Now, let's scoot over 2,000 miles west to Washington State, the land of Starbucks, grunge music, and stunning natural beauty. Bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and dominated by the majestic Cascade Mountains, Washington State is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. From hiking in Mount Rainier National Park to kayaking in the San Juan Islands, there's an adventure waiting for everyone.

Warning: Excessive consumption of coffee may lead to the sudden urge to write a hit song in your basement.
The OG Washington: The One and Only George
Of course, we can't forget the OG Washington, the man, the myth, the legend – George Washington! The first President of the United States, the guy on the dollar bill, the one who chopped down the cherry tree (allegedly). Without George Washington, well, there wouldn't be any Washingtons at all!
Presidential Puns: We can't resist a good dad joke here. What did George Washington say when he couldn't find his dentures? "Fake teeth, I presume?"
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
