I normally play on Valve Servers and i regularly get 50-60 ping on Washington servers,but if i want to play a TF2C Or something like that,I get 80-100 ping most of the time.
I'm guessing that Valve Servers are really good or that tragicserver's/gamerserver's servers are shit,but idk.
Help?

It's all about routing. Your internet provider specifically goes through more pings to get to Dallas than Washington DC for whatever ill conceived reason. I used to get 100+ to chicago servers from south florida with AT&T because of all the pings I had to go through to connect, then the routing changed and it went back to its normal 60-70 range.
In essence, it's probably mostly your internet provider, I can't remember the steps you can put in CMD to find out the pings from your ip to a server in dallas/dc to compare, but there is a way, and you'll see where the most traffic happens (for me, the pings spiked around chicago for whichever routing my AT&T went through). Pinpointing the problem server and then calling IP support or something can bring it to their attention that your ping is spiked starting with x server when routing to dallas that's wrong. You can see where the problem spike happens but you'd need to contact that server owner. Contacting your IP Support about the routing couldn't hurt though. Let them know that the current routing gives you latency issues for dallas.
EDIT: go to cmd and type tracert <ip address> and it'll show the pings along the routing, which identifies the server that causes the problem in routing

He means to say use tracrt in the command line to see how your packets may be routed.

trace route, I knew it was something. Thank you.
EDIT: looking forward to getting DDoS'd

border security is stronger towards the east
border security is stronger towards the east
capnfapnborder security is stronger towards the east
that would mean connecting to DC would mean more ping though
