Journalism and Politics are some of the smaller industries for tech in DC in my experience. Government contracting / consulting is a huge industry, but there are also a number of large companies and startups in the commercial space. At this point it's achieved critical mass and the sector continues to expand and get more active.

AWS is in Herndon. AOL is out there too near Dulles. Capital One and a number of others in McLean, VA. Large professional services firms and systems integrators all over the area. Large number of startups, both gov contracting but also security, SaaS, etc. A vibrant meetup scene with something for everyone.

Pick your mission - lots of opportunities.
