Washington DC

We are having a bit of an issue with place names:  District of Columbia and Washington, D C are both in the county look up and District of Columbia is also in the state AND city LUL.
Our discussion on this issue centered on ‘type what you see,’ and what fields are being populated.  Specific questions might be answered based on the project and what is being indexed.  In general we view Washington as a city, not a county or state.  DC or District of Columbia is not a city or a county or a state, but we would probably consider it to be properly indexed in a state field, not city or county.
