I haven't been to Washington DC to compare, but I can tell you that in Montreal and Toronto I have experienced horrible humidity in the summer. A wall, just as you describe it. Where you wonder why you take a shower because in seconds you're sweating again.
I hate humidity.
Try going to Bangkok... Humidity, concrete and an extremely dense population.. You can always go from the frying pan into the fire

Yuk. The worse humidity I ever experienced was in southern Italy one summer. Not sure if it was usual, since the locals looked like they were suffering as well. Only place to get relief were certain air-conditioned supermarkets.

I love humidity because we don't get any where I live.
Only someone who never lived outside Canada/Northern US/Northern Europe would think Montreal is hot and humid in the summer.
Probably 85% of the world's population live in places with hotter summers, and we complain "It is unbearably hot because it is 33C!" Laughable.
This is a debatable assertion. I have lived in Central and Eastern Europe and STILL, I consider Montreal (and to some lesser degrees Ontatio / Toronto GTA area) more humid.
Rather illogical to be debating peoples opinions on whether Montreal is really that hot.IMO It doesnt get that hot here in Montreal ,others may feel its an unrelenting furnace. If a discussion on the issue is to be helpful a more clear definition of the term Hot needs to be put forward as whats hot to me may not be hot for others.My idea of hot is anything over 30c
Going by this sites daily averages i wouldnt need to use my Air conditioner all summer= http://www.livingin-canada.com/climate-montreal.html
Humidex is a good, objective factor to measure it. As some other poster was noting - after a looong cold winter, it's not that pleasant to see shorter and uncomfortable summers.

Why would Toronto/Ontario be less humid than Montreal? They are about the same. If not the same then even more humid in Toronto.
