Well, a combination with public transport (Washington Flyer bus combined with the metro) is the best way to not deal with the variations in traffic on DC-area streets/highways.
The easiest way is a taxi, but it's also the most expensive and is subject to the routine traffic headaches.

A cheaper, although a bit less frequent way is to take bus B5 up to Rosslyn Metro station. Or if you are going to somewhere near L'Enfant Plaza anyway, take it all the way up there.
