Washington DC is the capital of the United States and is home to the White House, the Washington National Cathedral, the Washington Monument, the US Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial. It is a popular place to visit in Spring when it is decked with cherry blossom. See some great city views from our District of Columbia Webcams.
Located on the Potomac River, DC has less than 600,000 residents in its 68 square miles, although more than a million people commute in to work here. It was once infamously nicknamed the Murder Capital of the States, which is happily no longer the case. The Washington Redskins NFL and the Washington Wizards Basketball are just 2 of the professional teams based in Washington DC.
