Merhaba! Washington DC, ne Virginia'nın ne de Maryland'in içinde bulunmaktadır. Bu, Federal Hükümet için eskiden belirlenmiş olan bir bölge olan Columbia Bölgesi'nde yer almaktadır. Washington DC, Virginia eyaletinin güneybatı tarafında ve Maryland eyaletinin güneydoğu, kuzeydoğu ve kuzeybatı taraflarında çevrilidir. Dolayısıyla, Virginia ile Maryland arasındaki Potomac Nehri'nin güney sahilini keserek bu iki eyaletin sınırını kesmektedir.

Washington DC'nin Virginia'da olmamasının nedeni, o arazinin başlangıçta 1790 yılında Virginia ve Maryland tarafından federal hükümete devredilmiş olmasıdır. DC eyalet savunucuları, DC'nin Maryland'a devredilmesinin, Maryland hükümetinin desteğini almayabileceğini belirtmişlerdir.

Beyaz Saray, Washington DC'nin 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue adresinde yer almaktadır ve Washington DC'deki diğer yerler gibi ABD'nin başkentinde bulunmaktadır. Washington DC, resmi olarak Columbia Bölgesi olarak bilinir ve yalnızca federal hükümetin yargı yetkisinde olduğu için herhangi bir ABD eyaletinin bir parçası değildir.

Washington DC'nin bir kısmının Virginia'da olup olmadığı sorusu ise, modern bir haritaya bakıldığında bu karenin (bugünkü Arlington ve Alexandria'nın bulunduğu alan) artık DC'nin bir parçası olmadığının açık olduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak, bu hayali karenin kalan tarafları hala DC ile Maryland arasındaki sınırı temsil etmektedir.

Son olarak, Washington DC hiçbir ABD eyaletinde bulunmamaktadır ve Maryland ile Virginia'nın topraklarından oluşan Columbia Bölgesi'nde yer almaktadır. Umarım bu sorulara verdiğim cevaplar yardımcı olmuştur! Herhangi başka bir konuda daha fazla bilgi veya açıklama isterseniz çekinmeden sorabilirsiniz.
