This live camera points at the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, the span that carries traffic across the strait between Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. Watch it to see how the crossing looks right now and to judge conditions over the water before you travel.
A strait with a long story
The Narrows is a narrow channel of Puget Sound in western Washington, separating the city of Tacoma from the Kitsap Peninsula. The current bridge opened in 2007, built beside the original structure that collapsed in 1940 and gave the crossing its reputation. The surrounding landscape mixes dense evergreen forest, steep shorelines and busy shipping water, typical of the Pacific Northwest.
What to watch and when
The camera's title names the bridge, so the view is centred on the crossing and the water beneath it. Depending on the angle, you may see vehicles on the deck, ferry and container traffic moving through the channel, and the changing colour of the water. Clear mornings and late afternoons often give the sharpest light, while low cloud and rain are common in the cooler months.
Practical notes and nearby views
Tacoma has a mild, wet climate with mostly cool winters and dry, pleasant summers, so late spring through early autumn is the most comfortable time to visit. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is about 29 km away. Other cameras on VizCams cover Federal Way on Puget Sound, about 18 km away, and Olympia and Lacey, about 34 km away, for comparison of conditions across the region.
