Comment (by drkrtz):

 Can "Wasghington, D.C." be added as an alternate name for the node? Short
 of spelling out "Washington, Disctrict of Columbia", this really is the
 most accurate spelling so we probably shouldn't rely on regex magic to
 return the correct result.

 Looking at the node details, it seems like all the other punctuation
 variants are captured by various language translations. Perhaps simply
 changing one of the translation results to "Wasghington, D.C.", or
 updating the stated "alt_name" to this spelling, will fix the issue.

 I've added a note to the map as well. Feel free to delete/resolve along
 with this bug report.
