Depends on the audience. Capitol Hill if I’m trying to impress, southeast if I’m looking for street cred. Obviously I’m a product of my environment

Now, my kids say they're from DC when they meet someone from outside of the area, because nobody outside of the DMV knows the names of the various suburbs. Most Americans actually do know what and where "DC" is.
I'm a native washingtonian, now living in CA. No one here knows what DC means, and a lot of people don't even know that Wash DC is the US Capitol.
That’s just sad.
PP here. And this is Northern California! someone actually asked me "what state is that in?"

Six generation DC native here. I say that I am from DC. My 70 year old mother still says, "The District".

My default is Washington. I don’t know why. I just say I live in Washington.
