Foggy Bottom is west of downtown Washington, in the Northwest quadrant, bounded roughly by 17th Street to the east, Rock Creek Parkway to the west, Constitution Avenue to the south, and Pennsylvania Avenue to the north. |

| has gloss | nor: Foggy Bottom er et av de eldste nabolagene i Washington, DC, USAs rikshovedstad. Navnet, som betyr noe slikt som «Tåkedypet», kommer av at området ligger lavt og at tåke (som det var mye av i sumpene i det tidlige Washington) hadde en tendens til å samle seg der. Navnet brukes idag gjerne som metonym for Utenriksdepartementet, som har hovedkontor i området. Andre viktige bygninger i nabolaget inkluderer det berømte Watergate Hotel, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts samt hovedcampusen til George Washington University. |
