Google Earth appears to disagree with you. Using Google Earth's measurement tool I get 6944 miles to Washington and 7115 miles to Oregon.
Google Maps also appears to disagree with you. Using Google Maps' measurement tool I get 6930 miles to Washington and 7069 miles to Oregon.
The geodesics passing through New Delhi come in almost from due north in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, so how could the more southern state (Oregon) possibly be closer?
