Thanks to the wonderful interconnected nature of society today, our inner voyeur can indulge itself in all sorts of informative (and sometimes awkward) webcams that the internet has made available for us to monitor the world with. Seattle is certainly no different in this respect, and is quite possibly a frontrunner in the offering of live picture and video feeds. Assembled here is a collection of some of the most useful and fun from around the emerald city and beyond.
Lake Washington Bald Eagle Cam
Located in a 100 foot tall Douglas fir tree a new day/night camera installed in 2009 provides streaming video. A must see!
SR 520 Traffic Cam
This one definitely serves more of a functional purpose than it does anything else. SR 520, or “the floating bridge” as it’s also known, is typically the worst part of anyone’s day who has to use it. Sneaking a peek on the traffic cam before you head out the door might just make all the difference between being late to work, or being SUPER late to work.
Space Needle Cam
Craving a 24-hour access view of the Space Needle? This is about as close as you’ll get aside from shelling out some insane coin for a downtown loft or house on Queen Anne. This one’s especially fun to pull up on your laptop at on New Year’s Eve to catch the fireworks.
Space Needle
400 Broad St, Seattle, WA 98109
The Space Needle, Seattle's iconic 605-foot-tall building, was originally built to be the crown jewel of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair Expo; when it was completed, it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi. Today, visitors to the Needle can peer out over the city from the 520-foot-high obse...

The Space Needle, Seattle's iconic 605-foot-tall building, was originally built to be the crown jewel of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair Expo; when it was completed, it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi. Today, visitors to the Needle can peer out over the city from the 520-foot-high observation deck or enjoy a luxurious meal and stunning views in the slowly-spinning SkyCity restaurant. The beautiful landmark is located within the Seattle Center, next to the Pacific Science Center and the Experience Music Project.
Dale Ireland's Silverdale Cam
Located at Dale’s home in Silverdale, 20 miles west of Seattle. It is pointed west, looking across Hood Canal, an arm of Puget Sound, towards the Olympic Mountains. A good reminder of the serene, natural treasures that lie just outside our bustling city.
Fishmonger Theater
Check out the fish-throwing, tourist-loving action down at Pike Place Fish Market in your PJ’s thanks to these two great webcams.
Pike Place Market
85 Pike St, Seattle, WA 98101
A charming, historic sprawl of buildings make up Pike Place Market, filled with independent vendors selling everything from fresh pasta to handmade clothing to the freshest seafood available.

A charming, historic sprawl of buildings make up Pike Place Market, filled with independent vendors selling everything from fresh pasta to handmade clothing to the freshest seafood available. One of the most famous sights is found at Pike Place Fish, where workers toss massive fish back and forth while completing orders. Home to the original Starbucks coffee shop, the Downtown market sits only a few blocks from the waterfront, close to the Seattle Aquarium and the Seattle Art Museum.
Snoqualmie Pass Traffic/Weather Cam
Planning on going up to the mountain this weekend? Have you checked the traffic cam, because I think your answer should be no.
Explore Bainbridge Webcam
Cam located on Bainbridge Island, with views of Rolling Bay, the Sound, and Seattle. You can also take full control of this cam for up to 30 seconds at a time to pan, tilt, and zoom your way across the Sound.
Lava Lite Webcam
This doesn’t have a lot to do with Seattle, other than the fact that it resides in Seattle, but it is the only Lava Lite webcam in existence.
Woodland Park Zoo Bearcam
This cam shows the two grizzly bear brothers, Keema and Denali, at Woodland Park Zoo’s award-winning Northern Trail exhibit. As you might imagine, it’s a bit boring in the winter, but these two definitely know how to cause trouble during the summer.
Note: At the time of publishing (May 2009), this cam was down for maintenance, but is expected to be back up by mid to end of summer.
Woodland Park Zoo
601 N 59th St, Seattle, WA 98103
The 188-acre Woodland Park Zoo features 1,145 different animals that include 290 different species from all over the world, including elephants, giraffes, rainforest animals, and the increasingly rare Jaguar. The zoo takes up approximately one half of Woodland Park in the Fremont area, just north of ...

The 188-acre Woodland Park Zoo features 1,145 different animals that include 290 different species from all over the world, including elephants, giraffes, rainforest animals, and the increasingly rare Jaguar. The zoo takes up approximately one half of Woodland Park in the Fremont area, just north of Green Lake. One of the zoo's more popular exhibits is the recently constructed primate exhibit that takes visitors along a meandering pathway that leads them through the habitats of gorillas, chimps, and orangutans.
K5 Queen Anne Live Cam
One of the many live streaming cameras brought to us courtesy of King5 News, it sits atop the hill that so many a picturesque Seattle vista has been taken from. It’s also pretty damn to cool to check out when a heavy fog rolls in.
Top 'o the Needle Cam
Live, controllable, 360 degree view from atop the Space Needle. The power!
Mount St. Helens VolcanCam
Admittedly, this isn’t really that close to Seattle. Nonetheless, you should bookmark it just in case she decides to blow her top again.
