who says "washington" when their talking about the capitol? no one ..they call it d.c. or washington dc so there is no need to say washington STATE.
mentally challenged people say washington state because its too confusing for them to figure out.

only for retards, like yourself...Others are comfortable in their intelligence to ask follow up questions for further clarity when posed with these kinds of situations...Retards like you get mad, yell, curse, smash, etc, when faced with names that imply two or more meanings...

it's just that the night touching has an especial effect on things like geographical colloquialism, or at least one's understanding of it
