Obviously there are aspects of a BosWash corridor culture but DC is very much ''New South'' in my opinion. Grew rapidly after WWII, lots of new suburbia, and the like which is very UN-Northeastern. No Italian or ethnic Catholic presence. PG County doesn't seem very ''Northeastern'' (far more like suburban Atlanta than SE Queens). It's at least as much like Atlanta as Philadelphia.
If Atlanta was the national capital it wouldn't be all that ''culturally Southern'' either.
It's more than 25% African American, has virtually no white working class and is filled with highly educated people who work for the federal government. Being (sort of) "in the Northeast" has little to do with the liberalism of the area.
