About Washington, D.C. The IMF Headquarters is located in the heart of the commercial district of Washington, D.C. Over 90 percent of the staff work at headquarters and own or rent houses or apartments in the District of Columbia or in the Washington suburbs located in Maryland and Virginia. The city is attractively and spaciously laid out with many parks and green spaces. Most countries maintain a diplomatic presence in the U.S. capital, and other international organizations, such as the World Bank, InterAmerican Development Bank, INTELSAT, and the Organization of American States, also have their headquarters in Washington. This gives the city a cosmopolitan atmosphere. In addition, it has some of the best museums in the United States and is a growing center of the arts. For those who like to escape the city, the ocean beaches of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, the secluded creeks of the Chesapeake Bay, and the mountains and rivers of West Virginia and Pennsylvania are within three hours' driving time. |
