Bothell: I-405 at MP 23.6: SR 522 Interchange

Bothell straddles the Sammamish River in Washington’s Puget Sound lowlands, and that river corridor has shaped a compact downtown and an active trail network. The river flows north from Lake Sammamish toward Lake Washington, while the Burke-Gilman Trail follows much of its course through the city and connects Bothell with Seattle’s cycling and walking routes. Bothell Landing preserves a stretch of riverbank and recalls the community’s beginnings as a logging and farming settlement in the Sammamish Valley. Downtown is also home to McMenamins Anderson School, a hotel and gathering place created in the former Anderson School building.

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.
