Indeed, NoVa out by Tysons Corner is very much a HEADQUARTERS type environment.
No way would someone put something as big as Amazon in downtown D.C. Downtown is completely built up and not possible to get a lot of build-able space there.
What would make No Va work is that even thou it is suburban it doesn't fell like it. Tysons Corner is like a 2nd downtown for the D.C. area.
