Sammamish: I-90 at MP 70.6: Easton
Easton occupies a forested valley along Interstate 90 in Washington’s Cascade Mountains. This small Kittitas County community stands beside the Yakima River, where the western slopes give way toward the state’s drier interior. Lake Easton, a reservoir upstream on the river, anchors a state park with camping, trails and river access. Easton’s character is closely tied to cross-Cascade transport: I-90 is Washington’s principal east–west interstate route, while the historic Stampede Pass rail corridor crosses the mountains to the south. Northern Pacific opened its line over Stampede Pass in 1888, establishing a rail link whose corridor still shapes the area. Forest, river and transport infrastructure define this practical mountain stop.

Sammamish Commons forms a civic focal point with public facilities and parkland.

Washington’s terrain runs from Pacific coastal lowlands in the west to the dry Columbia Plateau in the east, with the Cascade Range creating a marked climatic divide. Central Washington lies on the plateau side of the Cascades, where the Columbia River has cut broad valleys and irrigation supports orchards and vineyards. The state also includes Puget Sound, the intricate marine inlet around Seattle, and the volcanic cone of Mount Rainier. Seattle’s Space Needle, built for the 1962 World’s Fair, remains one of its most recognisable landmarks. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Washington.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
