Spanaway: SR 7 at MP 47.38: Roy Wye (SR 507)
Spanaway lies along Pierce County’s inland plain south of Tacoma, where commercial corridors and residential areas meet stands of evergreen woodland. State Route 7, known here as Pacific Avenue, is the community’s principal north–south route, carrying traffic between Tacoma and towns toward the Cascade foothills. Spanaway Lake lies east of the highway, part of a landscape formed by glacial deposits; Mount Rainier stands farther southeast beyond the community. Unincorporated Spanaway is closely tied to the wider Tacoma area and to nearby Joint Base Lewis–McChord. Wide intersections, roadside services and tall conifers define this suburban stretch of Washington.

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.
