Startups in DC? 
nolanbrown23: My company was part of LaunchBox Digital '09 class and I can say there is definitely a startup scene in DC but it's in the early stages. There are some great events like TechCocktail that highlight companies in the area that you can look to hook up with. As for a job, you should be able to find one with relative ease (http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/17/the-best-and-worst-citi...) although it will be harder finding an early stage startup that can pay you a livable wage for DC.
