Go out to Mont Co to one of the Asian grocery stores such as H Mart on GA Ave. They sometimes have lobster for as little as $7/lb.

THE BEST. Washington Harbor. A friend picked them up on her way up from Alexandria. Into the water. Sweet corn. Tomatos, mozarella and basil. Best meal in our house ever.

OH, sorry, you said NWDC. Well, think of the Harbor if you are ever down at the tidal basin. GREAT live lobster.

Black Salt has a seafood market, but not sure if they have lobsters.

I know that the Giant right near Friendship Heights as well as the Super Fresh by spring valley have live lobsters. I've never bought one from either place - so I can't really speak to how good they are.... but they are alive.

Lobsters should be cheap. They're catching tons up in Maine, so don't get ripped off. In Maine, I've bought some for 3.99/lb for the softshells.

Unfortunately that's because the softshells can't be easily shipped. The market is still pretty high for hard shelled lobsters as that is all that is available here.

Was just in Maine. Softshells mid-coast were $5.00/lb.

I'm guessing OP doesn't have easy access to Maine if she is looking for lobsters in NW DC.
