Roslyn: I-90 at MP 61.7 Stampede Pass
Stampede Pass is best known within Washington for its historic rail crossing of the Cascade Range. Set in the densely forested central Cascades near Roslyn, the pass forms part of a major east–west transportation corridor through mountainous terrain. The Northern Pacific Railway completed Stampede Tunnel here in 1888, an engineering work that remains central to the pass’s identity. Interstate 90 follows the nearby corridor, carrying road traffic between the Puget Sound lowlands and inland Washington. This is working mountain infrastructure rather than a resort centre: conifer forest, steep slopes and long-established rail and highway routes define the setting.

Tucked into the forested eastern foothills of the Cascade Range, Roslyn is a town whose character is shaped by its mountain setting and coal-mining past. In Kittitas County, it grew around mines that attracted workers from many countries, a legacy preserved at Roslyn Cemetery, where separate burial grounds reflect ethnic and fraternal associations. Brick storefronts and miners’ homes remain central to the compact historic district. Roslyn also became widely recognisable as a filming location for the television series Northern Exposure.

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.
