D.C after Washington

Post by Tracey » Mon Oct 06, 2008 12:54 pm

Ok, silly question but what does the D.C stand for after Washington ?
On ships manifests i have someone going to Washington after Washington it says what looks like Comm ? which made me wonder what the D.C was :? or just knowing what the Comm is would be useful

Hi Tracey,

Short note as I'm dashing off to the office.

Remember here in the US we have the State of Washington (West Coast of the US) and Washington, D.C. (East Coast of the US)

Regards
Marilyn

Ok, will go back and see if there are clues as to which one it could be or would the Comm after Washington be the answer ?
