Dulles airport, I mean Reagan is right on the yellow line and I suppose you can take a shuttle to BWI from the Greenbelt metro so Dulles would be an option. Tysons? Is there a metro near Tysons Corner? I can't think of anything, I'm not a suburb guy, mostly stay within the city limits.
MAYBE Baltimore....but you have the Marc train so....

The 5A Metrobus goes from DC to Dulles with only a few stops. Metro to Tyson's is already being built.
Extend Red Line to Olney, the Green line to Laurel or Ft. Meade, the Orange to Bowie, the Blue to Upper Marlboro, the Green to Andrews, extend the Blue to Lorton or Woodbridge, and re-route the Yellow down Columbia Pike to NOVA CC. Those are my wishes. Most will never happen.

This extension has been under construction for 4 years and will open next year. The final portion to dulles will open in 2018.
A seperated blue line - Rosslyn-Georgetown - Convention Center - Union Station - Atlas District - and back to Benning Road.
This would A. relieve congestion at the key transfer stations - L'Enfant, Gallery Place and Metro Center. Any other additional lines would further burder those stations. B. Provide service to Georgetown for the first time. C. Would improve access to several areas north and east of downtown, increasing property values and tax revenues, and possibly reducing auto commutes (esp from NoVa) D. Improve access to Union Station E. Relieve congestion on the Potomac River crossings - no post Silver Line extensions in NoVa are really possible as long as all trains must pass through either the existing rosslyn-foggy bottom tunnel, or the 14th street bridge.
they could, but it would be VERY expensive. Almost certainly not on the list of the most needed or most feasible.
meanwhile suburb to suburb transit IS being added - the purple line from New Carrolton to Bethesda (if and when Md manages to fund it) and the new HOT lanes in NoVa will have express bus service to Tysons. And MD and VA are looking at ways to reestablish express bus service between MoCo and Tysons.
