Isn't Washington on the other side of america?
There's 2. Washington (State, west coast) and Washington DC (East coast, not a state)
Jesus, you learn something every day
Seattle is in Washington, directly under Canada, a stones throw from Vancouver, specifically. DC is a former wetland (hence "Drain the Swamp!") set in between Maryland and Virginia and has a warmer climate. We are taught that the capital was never supposed to be part of any state, lest they become more powerful than the others.
for like half a century after the countries founding, there was no sewer system. So a giant lake of shit formed, practically behind the White House. It's thought a lot of the early presidents had their life shortened by cholera complications
I think they should bring back the shit swamp, personally. I think we could use a place to dunk politicians we are displeased with.
I like how you present information, thanks. Ever considered being a human AI? 😉
I am not a robot, just mildly autistic lol.
Oh there are many places named Washington in the US!
There's a small city called Washington, PA. It's easy to find because it's also in Washington county!
If you find yourself in California, PA instead of Washington, PA then you made the same mistake as if you ended up in big-ass California instead of big-ass Washington: too far south!!
Oh yeah, you can also attend Washington and Jefferson College in Washington city in Washington county! :D
That's the old washington. We've had plenty of updates and fixed many of the issues for the new one. Good way to remember it is that the nation's capital is called Washington DC. DC is an Italian abbreviation for Da Capo which means from the beginning.
And on the other side of Trump.
