1. I’m a Washingtonian because I was born here. That’s the criteria. I was born here, Colombia hospital for women, woodys, blah blah

2. I went to Georgetown and partied. The tombs, etc.

3. I’m a transplant but this is how I know I’m a Washingtonian now. I can navigate rock creek parkway. THIS SEEMS TO BE WHAT THE THREAD IS ASKING BUT WHAT DO I KNOW.

What’s confusing about different groups of people having different criteria for something the OP left undefined?

Because half the thread is insisting that you are only a Washingtonian if you are born in Washington. That's a legitimate take, but not the point of the thread. That really has/permits no discussion. It's number three that is interesting and merits a discussion.

Ahhhh: So this thread is for transplants deciding what criteria they want to use with each other to deem themselves “real Washingtonians”. Got it. That is, indeed, interesting. Lol. Not MY thread then.

Forgive me, fellow native, but you could stand to work on your reading comprehension. The title of the thread is how you know you've BECOME a Washingtonian. So pretty clearly not about those of us who were born here (most of whom are not trying to be snobby about it).
