Is it just me or is Washington DC extremely underrated as a city?

Next up we're gonna hear about how "underrated" Nashville and Austin are, LOL!

But it's clear from this thread that different people have different understandings of the word "underrated".

I would never consider media-darling cities like DC or Seattle to be underrated, but that's just me.

That was my impression. I had just moved to the Bay area and then flew up to Seattle (for the first time) to meet my wife for a long weekend and it struck me as a cleaner, greener SF. Similar vibe and aesthetic.

Of the cities that have hosted a season of the Real World, Philadelphia is the only one that can legitimately be described as underrated.
