Washington (en-us-Washington.ogg /ˈwɒʃɪŋtən/ (help·info)) is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Washington was carved out of the western part of Washington Territory which had been ceded by Britain in 1846 by the Oregon Treaty as settlement of the Oregon Boundary Dispute. It was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889. The United States Census Bureau estimated the state's population was 6,549,224 as of 2008.
The state is named after George Washington, the 1st President of the United States. It is the only U.S. state named after a president. Residents are called "Washingtonians" (emphasis on the third syllable, pronounced as tone). Washington is often called Washington State or the State of Washington to distinguish it from the District of Columbia. However, Washingtonians always refer to the state simply as "Washington" while usually referring to the nation's capital as "Washington D.C." or simply "D.C."

1. Washington D. C.
A visitor to Washington D. C. is impressed by the straight tree-lined avenues of the capital city and grand houses in neo-classical style.
Washington D. C. is situated on the Potomac River. The author of the design for the capital city was the French engineer Pierre Charles L'Enfant. His design is based on Versailles, a palace near Paris. The capital city is criss-crossed by broad avenues, which meet in spacious squares and circles.
The central place of the city is the Mall, a large open space, a kind of a park, stretching from the building of the Capitol to Lincoln Memorial, with Washington Memorial in the middle. The Mall is often used by people for public meetings, picnics, games, concerts, etc.
On both sides of the Mall are the numerous buildings of the Smithsonian Institution - a group of museums, scientific buildings and collections. James Smithson was an English scientist of the 19-th century, who left his entire fortune to the United States, asking to use it in order to found "an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge". The Smithsonian Institution was founded in 1846, and it includes now thirteen museums.
There is only one business in Washington, and this business is government. The executive departments are located in Washigton. Most of the people who live in Washington work for the federal government.
When you are in Washington, you can visit the White House. You won't see the President at work, because the offices and the living quarters of the White House are closed to the public. But you can visit Capitol Hill, and there you will be able to see the work of the other two branches of government: the Senate, the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court have public galleries.
