Inspired by @strutheo ’s popular “What will happen in <month>?” markets.

What will happen in DC in 2024? As a resident of the District, I have a particular interest in what happens in this city.

Events do not have to actually occur in DC to resolve yes, but must be related to the city and/or impact/be uniquely newsworthy to its residents in some way. i.e. a Washington sports team winning a championship at an away game would qualify as a DC event for the purposes of this question.

I would prefer to minimize the amount of general questions handled ad nauseum elsewhere on Manifold, such as federal U.S. politics events (especially ones happening on the campaign trail outside of DC proper) and regular season sporting events. Again, my interest is primarily to understand how I as a resident of this city may be affected by events happening in or to this city this year.

@mattyb Love this answer! So DC. Was there a specific resolution criteria you had in mind? Perhaps A) before the last week in March (this says that would be early for typical “peak bloom”) or B) before the initial Peak Bloom date as announced by NPS on February 28th? (see same link above).

@dglid not exactly, I defer to your discretion of “early”. Interpret that either way

@mattyb I'll resolve this YES if peak bloom (top right field in this table) is before March 23rd. This means it is both historically early and earlier than NPS's March 23-26th projection.

@mattyb resolves YES as March 17th per NPS
