You can take the MARC train from BWI airport (Baltimore Washington 
International) to Union Station.  Or you can take the the subway from 
DC/Reagan Airport to Union Station.  Reagan is closer and Metro is 
cheaper, but BWI is often easier to get a flight into and has better 
baggage service.  (IMHO.)  All things considered I'd fly into Reagan 
National Airport in DC.

I was just at Union Station myself this week, returning my rental car 
that I used to get home from my section hike.  :)
