Don't forget Washington, MO. It's a wonderful town that sits on the
Missouri river in the heart of Missouri wine country.

If he were referring to Washington, the state, he would likely not use
the
phrase "Washingon Area", as that is not a construction generally used in

association with geographic areas that are themselves already very
large.
So it's reasonable to assume that he means a metropolitan area such as
Washington D.C..

There are in fact many more than two Washingtons (no apostrophe!!!!!!)
in
the United States, so it could have been that, for example, he meant
Washington in Ohio. And in fact, being American, you just assume that
his
audience is exclusively American, but he might even have referring to
Washington, Tyne and Wear, England (although there are some clues in the

post that suggest that this is not the case (and some of those same
clues
also indicate that he is referring to Washington D.C.)).

But actually, he does indeed mean Washington D.C.
