No, the capital of Washington STATE is Olympia, not Washington, D.C.
D.C. is the capital of the entire United States -- and is 3,000 miles from Olympia, Washington.
D.C. does not have its own state capital because it is, in fact, not even an official state, just a "district." In this regard, it is like the Vatican, a sovereign nation contained within Rome.
D.C. is contained entirely within the state of Virginia, which is the upper-most state of what is considered the U.S. South.
Like all Southern big cities, D.C. is quite humid, and it is dogged by a high crime rate and a higher infant mortality rate than many Third World countries.
Still, it has a certain"Old South charm," and is home to some of the most notable museums in the U.S., specifically the Smithsonian Institute's many branches on "The Mall."
D.C. is also the location of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the official residence of the president; the edifices of the major branches of government and federal departments; Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts; the Washington and Lincoln monuments; and the Ford Theater, where Lincoln was assassinated.
