Washington was named after George Washington, the
first President of the United States, and is the only U.S. state named after
a president. Washington is commonly called Washington State or occasionally
the state of Washington to distinguish it from the District of Columbia.
However, Washingtonians (residents of Washington) and many residents of
neighboring states normally refer to the state simply as "Washington" while
usually referring to the nation's capital as "Washington, D.C." or simply
"D.C." Washingtonians from the District of Columbia often refer to the state
as "Washington State" or "the other Washington."
Washington is a land of contrasts. The deep forests of the Olympic Peninsula, such as the Hoh Rain Forest, are among the only temperate rainforests in the continental United States, but the semi-desert east of the Cascade Range has few trees. Mount Rainier, the highest mountain in the state, is covered with more glacial ice than any other peak in the lower 48.
