As the seat of government, Washington, DC is home to the President of the United States, Congress, the Supreme Court and all federal agencies and departments, including the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. But Washington is much more than a center of power. The District of Columbia and the surrounding areas offer countless opportunities for culture, sports, entertainment, sightseeing and relaxation. Enjoy art, history and technology at the museums of the Smithsonian Institution. See live performances at the famed Kennedy Center. Take advantage of great food and stores in Georgetown. Explore a wide variety of restaurants in Adams Morgan, or take in a live jazz concert in the Historic U Street Corridor. Venture outside of the District and experience the fresh seafood of the Chesapeake Bay, the mountains and beaches of Maryland and Virginia or the sights and sounds of Baltimore, all within easy reach. Transportation options are many, with the Metro subway system serving the city and the surrounding suburbs. Washington's diversity makes it an interesting and rewarding place to live and work.
