Usual nicknames or slang names for Washington:

DC or DeeCee.

The Capital.

The nation's capital.

Less nice are 'District of Crime' (for the out of control violence especially in the 1980s and 1990s) and 'Chocolate City' (apparently a demeaning reference to the racial makeup of the city).

It is also called The City of Trees.
