The streets running north and south are numbered, and the east-west streets are lettered beginning at the Capitol and extending in both directions. One thing to remember is that DC doesn't have a J Street.

Washington's streets from north to south, stretching away from the capitol, are numerically organized. Streets crossing diagonally are named after the states.
