Why wasn’t Washington, (DC), made part of the state of Maryland, way back when?

Why wasn’t Washington, (DC), made part of the state of Maryland, way back when? Because the framers didn't want one state having undue influence over the national seat of government via the state legislature and law enforcement.
It was a move about on par with restricting legions from entering Rome.
