I was visiting Northern Virginia last month and it definitely seems strange that the Washington CSA extends all the way through it and into West Virginia even. While there were definitely people commuting into the DC metro area from the area we were at (Front Royal/Shenandoah Valley) I remain skeptical that the connection is strong enough to include those places in with DC. It would be like including Shelbourne or Orillia in with Toronto.
