There's a book called 60 hikes within 60 miles of DC that's pretty good.
I suggest purchasing this book: http://www.amazon.com/Hikes-within-Miles-Washington-Including/dp/0897325559
The best Metro accessible hiking includes:
Roosevelt Island and the Arboretum are both inaccessible due to the shutdown. Rock Creek, Mt. Vernon, and Capital Crescent are under NPS jurisdiction, but as far as I know still available to use, although restrooms along those trails are all likely to be shuttered. Lake Artemesia is under the jurisdiction of Maryland, so it's still very much accessible.
I'm a fan of greenbelt park because it's close to me. You should consider this book, it's worth the money.
Billy goat trails are nice and I believe there's a book that has a lot of good suggestions for this area in particular.
My typical stomping grounds that I usually hit after work in the evenings for the sake of going outside are nice little 2 milers at Difficult Run or Scott's Run. Neither of which are too far from the village of Great Falls. Plus you get to see water most of the time and the tree cover's nice. These are by no means challenging hikes, but the views are nice and the trails have many options/ routes.
I've also been looking to find a few new spots around the area. Do you have any particular hikes you could recommend to an avid trailblazer?
