What non-US "Washington" could this possibly be? Did you really think it was the town of Washington in the UK?

Would you criticize a British person for saying "London" without clarifying if they mean the town of London, Texas?

Lol, I don't deny there are many places called Washington...

I'm asking if you really thought this was the island of Washington in the Philippines?

Yes, when the largest portion of users is all from one country it makes to presume that a given location, without other context, is probably referring to a place generally familiar to those from that country.
