Washington never lived in Washington DC because it didn't exist. The city of Washington DC was started/built after he became president and John Adams was the first president to live in the White House. When he moved in it wasn't finished and hung the laundry in the East Room. The principle residence of Washington was Mt. Vernon, but as president he was given a house in New York and one in Philadelphia for his second term.
