Oak Harbor: US101 at Brookings
Few places in Oregon have a history as closely tied to the timber industry as Brookings. Founded in 1913 by the Brookings Timber and Lumber Company, it developed as a company town around a large sawmill on the Chetco River estuary. US Route 101 now runs through the urban core, connecting this southern Oregon community with the Pacific coast and the California border region. The Chetco River reaches the Pacific west of town, while Brookings Harbor gives the city a working waterfront. Nearby, the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor protects a rugged stretch of Oregon coastline, and Azalea Park is a civic green space noted for its azalea plantings.

Oak Harbor is best known in Washington for its close ties to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, a major United States Navy installation. The city occupies the eastern shore of Whidbey Island on Oak Harbor, a sheltered inlet of Puget Sound. Its Dutch-settler heritage is celebrated each spring at Holland Happening, a community festival with parades and traditional Dutch food. Downtown’s waterfront setting, local shops and marina give the city a distinctly island-oriented rhythm, while the naval presence remains central to its identity.

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.
