Was nothing untoward in US city? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

washington

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'city?' is the definition.
(I know that Washington is a city of the United States)

'was nothing untoward in us' is the wordplay.
'was nothing' can be anagrammed to 'WASHINGTON'.
Though, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for washington that I've seen before include "Seattle's state" , "State - capital - president" , "See 3" , "Irving" , "Tree feller of myth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
