WASHINGTON DC, United States — A street sign for K Street NW, a thoroughfare in downtown Washington DC known for its high concentration of lobbying firms, think tanks, and advocacy groups. K Street has become synonymous with political influence in the nation's capital due to its proximity to the White House and other centers of federal power.
Photograph by David Coleman. K Street NW is a major east-west road in Washington, DC, running from Rock Creek Park to Mount Vernon Square. It is widely recognized as the center of lobbying activity in the United States, earning it the nickname "Lobbyists' Row." The street is home to numerous law firms, think tanks, advocacy groups, and professional associations that specialize in influencing federal policy. K Street's proximity to the White House, just a few blocks to the south, and its location within the city's central business district contribute to its status as a hub of political activity. The term "K Street" has become metonymic for Washington's lobbying industry, often used in political discourse to represent the collective influence of special interest groups on American politics. This concentration of political power has made K Street a symbol of the interconnectedness between private interests and public policy in the United States, and it remains a crucial part of Washington's political ecosystem.
