  Federal Triangle is a great station with a really cool entrance/exit area. Usually very well-kept and clean, and very convenient for the people who work in these buildings -- other than that, though, it's a bit out of the way to many common destinations.

  The Federal Triangle is a triangular area in Washington, D.C. formed by 15th Street NW, Constitution Avenue NW, Pennsylvania Avenue NW, and E Street NW. Federal Triangle is occupied by 10 large city and federal office buildings, all of which are part of the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site. Seven of the buildings in Federal Triangle were built by the U.S. federal government in the early and mid-1930s as part of a coordinated construction plan that has been called "one of the greatest building projects ever undertaken"[1] and all seven buildings are now designated as architecturally historic. The Federal Triangle Washington Metro station serves Federal Triangle and the surrounding area. The name "Federal Triangle" appears to have been a journalistic invention. The press made reference to a "Pennsylvania Avenue Triangle" as early as November 18, 1926,[2] and use of this name continued as late as June 1929,[3][4][5] but it was more common for the news media to refer to the area as "the Triangle" by 1927.[6] This name was in use by 1928, even by government officials,[7] and still used as of late 1934.[8][9][10] The Associated Press first used the term "Federal Triangle" (with both words capitalized) in 1935.[11] The New York Times first used the term in 1936, although the paper's capitalization of both words did not become standardized until 1939.[12] Definitions of the area also varied at first. Early news reports believed the eastern apex of Federal Triangle extended as far east and south as the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial in front of the United States Capitol.[6][7] But almost all reports referred to Pennsylvania Avenue NW and 15th Street NW as the Triangle's northern and western boundaries

  Silver/orange/blue line access right off the National Mall (specifically American History Museum) & EPA building, near the Trump Hotel. Metro station is average for the area (underground, concrete benches) but the terrace immediately by the entrance is nice. In warm weather I prefer to get off at either Smithsonian or Metro Center and walk as the surrounding area is so beautiful.

  One of Metro's older stations, serving silver, orange and blue lines. Convenient to the National Mall, EPA, Trump International Hotel, Ronald Reagan Building, and Department of Commerce (through a tunnel from Reagan. Very nice to use this station during poor weather from several buildings in the blocks between 12th and 15th Streets, since there are tunnels and private buildings and covered walkways connecting to the station. I dropped a star because many trains at this station are filled to capacity during rush hour.

  The metrorail system is a fast transportation system that is reliable enough for decent amounts of travel. Employees should be able to help you and are often very kind. This particular station is near certain landmarks like the White House but there are closer stations.
