Roslyn: I-90 at MP 60.5 Lake Keechelus Dam
Built around the impoundment of the upper Yakima River, the Lake Keechelus dam site developed into a key storage point for the Yakima Project. The reservoir lies on the east side of Snoqualmie Pass in the Cascade Mountains, alongside Interstate 90, Washington’s principal east–west highway. Keechelus Dam was completed in 1917 for the federal project that stores and manages irrigation water for the Yakima River basin in central Washington. Below the dam, the Yakima River begins its long course toward the Columbia River. Steep forested slopes around the reservoir form part of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, placing major transport infrastructure within a working mountain watershed.

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.
