Washington State Traffic Cameras
3,500+ Live Camera Feeds Across the Pacific Northwest. In addition to our specialized Washington Mountain Pass Guide, our map includes live street feeds and intersection cameras throughout Washington's major urban centers. WSDOT manages over 7,000 miles of state highways, serving as the critical transit backbone for nearly 8 million residents.
VIEW WASHINGTON CAMERAS →Access 3500+ live traffic cameras across Washington State, where the Cascade Range divides the state and forces all east-west traffic through a handful of mountain passes. (Note: Looking for the U.S. capital? See our Washington DC Guide). In 2024, preliminary data showed 731 traffic fatalities in the state—a 9.6% decrease from the previous year—reflecting the vital role of real-time monitoring in improving highway safety. Monitor I-5 through Seattle's notorious congestion, check Snoqualmie Pass conditions before heading across the state, and verify ferry traffic at Puget Sound terminals before you leave the house.

About Washington Traffic Monitoring
Washington's camera network is one of the most sophisticated in the country, designed to manage a unique mix of extreme urban density and high-elevation mountain hazards.
The I-5 Transportation Spine
I-5 carries the state's pulse, connecting the Canadian border to Oregon. The segment through downtown Seattle is particularly complex, featuring reversible express lanes that respond to peak demand. Our cameras allow you to see exactly which lanes are open and whether the "Mixing Bowl" at I-90 is backing up.
Cascade Mountain Passes
Snoqualmie Pass (I-90) and Stevens Pass (US-2) are lifeblood routes that frequently experience winter closures. WSDOT cameras are essential for travelers checking snow accumulation, plowing activity, and traction requirement signs before committing to the 3,000+ foot ascent.
Pass Traction Laws
UDOT and WSDOT both use cameras to verify road conditions before triggering mandatory chain requirements. Check the cameras at North Bend or Easton before you start your climb to see if you need to pull over and chain up.
Puget Sound Ferry Terminals
The Washington State Ferry system is the largest in the U.S. Traffic cameras at terminals like Edmonds, Mukilteo, and Bainbridge Island provide the only reliable way to see vehicle holding lot lengths. Summer weekends often see 2-3 boat waits; check the cameras before you leave to avoid a half-day delay.
Floating Bridge Wind
The SR-520 and I-90 floating bridges across Lake Washington can close during extreme wind events. Use our bridge cameras to check for visibly swaying signs or lane restrictions during Pacific storms. Users can also monitor street-level views in cities like Bellevue and Everett to navigate around surface street gridlock and local construction projects.
