Washington is where American internships in policy, government, international development and advocacy actually exist. Federal agencies, congressional offices, think tanks, non-profits and the contractors around them all take interns, and many of these roles have no equivalent anywhere else in the country.
Two things are specific to this market and worth planning around. Application deadlines for congressional and federal internships are early, rigid and often semester-based rather than summer-only. And a meaningful share of the most prestigious roles are unpaid or lightly stipended, which is a real access problem, check whether your university offers a funding award before ruling one out, because many do specifically for this city.
Beyond policy there is a substantial cybersecurity and government-technology sector, which does pay well and recruits technical students year-round. Several of those roles require US citizenship or the ability to obtain a security clearance, which is worth checking on the posting before you invest time in an application: it is a hard requirement rather than a preference, and it is not always stated prominently.
