Welcome to flyertalk, mniks1989!
I'm having a bit of a hard time placing this thread in the Flyertalk forums. It's not MilesBuzz where you posted, "the latest frequent flyer program buzz."
Since you're moving to DC I'll interpret the question as "what the best time to move to DC?" and see if folks in the Washington, DC forum have any thoughts.
But it may be a difficult question to answer without some idea your cirteria, what you're trying to avoid / minimize /etc... how much stuff, how you plan to travel... anything else you might share could shed some light.
Regards,
Gary
