Washington state is on the West Coast. Washington DC, the capital city, is on the East Coast.

It's... not intuitive.

When I was a kid, Washington the state, Washington DC, and the whitehouse all blurred together, and then we learned that the whitehouse burned and was rebuilt, and for the longest time I thought it was relocated... to the state... of Washington... and I believed that for years. I think I figured it out before high school, but it was definitely 7th or 8th grade before I could point on a map where the president sat.
