Kennewick: SR 240 at MP 40.4: Edison St
Kennewick combines a broad river-city setting with the dry, open character of south-central Washington in a way that reflects its position on the Columbia River. It is one of the Tri-Cities, alongside Pasco and Richland, where the Columbia and Yakima rivers shape a metropolitan area at the edge of the Columbia Basin. State Route 240 is a principal corridor through the city and toward Richland, linking neighbourhoods and commercial districts with the regional road network. Kennewick developed as an agricultural and transportation community; riverfront parks, vineyards and access to the Columbia remain central to local life. The nearby Hanford Site is also part of the region’s twentieth-century story, having supported the Manhattan Project.

Kennewick occupies the south bank of the Columbia River in southeastern Washington. It is one of the Tri-Cities, alongside Pasco across the river and Richland upstream, in a dry inland setting shaped by the Columbia Basin. The Columbia shoreline supports parks, boating and the city’s long connection with regional agriculture. In 1996, ancient human remains known as Kennewick Man were discovered beside the river; after years of study and legal debate, they were reburied by Native American tribes in 2017. Vineyards and wineries of the Columbia Valley underline the importance of wine growing in the surrounding area.

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.
