Holmes: I-90 MP 110: I-90 @ I-82 Interchange
Holmes combines open agricultural ground with the concentrated traffic of the Interstate 90–Interstate 82 junction in a way that reflects its position at the southern edge of Washington’s Kittitas Valley. This small locality lies south of Ellensburg, where I-82 begins its route toward Oregon while I-90 carries transcontinental traffic across central Washington. Fields, ranch properties and low rolling hills give the interchange a distinctly inland character. The wider Kittitas Valley is a working farm-and-ranch district, while nearby Ellensburg is known for the annual Ellensburg Rodeo and Kittitas County Fair. Holmes is therefore a practical crossroads in an open valley landscape rather than an urban destination.

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.
