About the Seattle cameras

These are the official Washington Department of Transportation cameras within about 40 km of downtown Seattle. They are the same feeds the state publishes, gathered here so you can check the whole metro area at once instead of one camera at a time.

Driving in Seattle

Roadze tracks 1,032 traffic cameras in and around Seattle, Washington. They belong to the Washington Department of Transportation and are the same feeds their own traffic operators watch.

Most of them sit on I-5 (178), I-405 (104), I-90 (63), SR-520 (52), SR-167 (45) and SR-99 (26). If you only check one before heading out, make it the road you actually take.

Winter is what closes roads here: snow, ice and blowing snow from November through March. Plow cameras and pass cameras are the ones worth checking before a trip.

Cameras are public and free to watch — no account, no app. Each one shows what the road looks like right now, which is more useful than a traffic map when you want to know whether it is raining, whether the plows have been through, or whether that backup is an accident or just volume.
