      Yes The State of Washington and Washington DC have frequently performed these passive-aggressive jabs at each other It starts with the naming of the State of Washington in the first place, which was originally the "Columbia District"https://twitter.com/_dev_urandom_/status/1385455712508256256 …

      cw: us geography this has nothing to do with politics, but come on, who the heck named a city right next washington d.c. "mount rainier" even though there's already a mount rainier in washington state? did they specifically aim to confuse people as much as possible? https://twitter.com/Laurent_Weppe/status/1385333669599059968 …

      The British explorer who navigated the Columbia River named it after his ship, the Columbia The British then named that territory the "Columbia District", not giving a shit about causing confusion with the District of Columbia (possibly an act of passive aggression at the US)

      When this territory was split in half between the US and Canada after the 54-40 or Fight! crisis was resolved with the Oregon Treaty of 1846, the northern part became known as "British Columbia" And they told the inhabitants of the southern half they had to change their name

          So, the inhabitants of the former Columbia District, bowing to the District of Columbia's earlier claim to the name, even as they groused they were named after a geographical feature and DC was not, graciously agreed to pick a new name

          And decided to become the Territory of Washington Since nobody could criticize a choice to honor our nation's first President with the name of a new future state

          So the inhabitants of the Maryland suburb of Washington DC decided to return the favor and pay homage to that great natural wonder Mt. Rainier It's kind of hilarious

          I'm pretty sure they weren't very keen on hanging onto the "British" part in any case.

          If American Columbia was out then why bother calling your half British Columbia?
