Selah: I-82 at MP 22.4 - Creek Rest Area
Tucked into the shrub-steppe hills of central Washington, Selah is a place whose character is shaped by dry terrain around Selah Creek and the Yakima Valley. Selah Creek descends from these hills toward the Yakima River, while Interstate 82 follows a transport corridor north of Yakima. Open rangeland on the slopes contrasts with irrigated agriculture on the valley floor. Fruit growing, especially apples, is a defining local industry, sustained by irrigation in the wider Yakima Valley. With Yakima to the south and the Cascade Range farther west, the town stands between productive farmland and drier upland country. Water, farming and road links have long organized settlement in this part of Washington.

Selah has served as an agricultural community in Washington’s Yakima Valley since the early 20th century. Set near the Yakima River, it lies amid a broad, irrigated valley where orchards and fruit production remain central to the local economy. The city is closely associated with apples: Tree Top, the cooperative-based fruit-products company, was founded in the Yakima Valley in 1960 and is headquartered in Selah. Low hills rise around the valley, while Yakima’s larger urban area is immediately to the south. Browse webcams nearby to see how Selah connects with the wider Yakima Valley.

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.
