You are in: Seattle -> Right Now -> The King 5 Camera
The map in the middle is the main bit of Seattle. The red star is where the camera is (roughly!) on Queen Anne hill, where you can get a spectacular panorama of Seattle. The camera points in various directions throughout the day - and these pictures should help you decide where its pointing, and maybe even allow you identify some landmarks...
This is the view looking across Gasworks Park -to the North East of the Camera. The park is the green bit sticking out into the lake. (Lake Union) |

This is Alki Point - the end of Alki Beach, and is the view to the West or maybe West-South-West from the camera. |

This is downtown Seattle, and the Needle. This view is South East from the camera. Its often zoomed in though so you see just "downtown" where all the skyscrapers are. |
![]() This is Downtown. The tallest building (in the background) is the Seafirst Tower - now owned by Bank of America. The building on the right with the pointy roof is the Washington Mutual Tower. |
All the webcam images are from King5 - www.king5.com - a local TV station. The map is from Mapquest - www.mapquest.com - which gives me driving directions from wherever I am to wherever I want to go. Its spot on accurate and incredibly useful. If you are in America I would highly recommend it, and I can't wait for them to get over to Europe.
