Ive been there only once and I live only like 4 hours away. Most people of they arent in the area around Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey or new york USUALLY never visit. The further you are away the less likely you are to travel there. Usually DC is a day trip for those that live close, otherwise you then have to add plane tickets and hotels to your trip and that becomes prohibitively expensive for many Americans.
