## Key context

### About the Washington, D.C. cams

Washington cams show the National Mall, the Potomac, Georgetown and the suburbs. They are useful on big days such as inaugurations, July 4th or snowstorms that shut the federal government.

We leave out cams near the Pentagon, Joint Base Andrews, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Fort McNair and the Navy Yard.

### What to watch for

- National Mall views fill up for parades, protests and the July 4th fireworks.
- Potomac cams show flooding after heavy rain upstream.
- For the 'Pentagon pizza index' myth, see our pizza index page.

### Our rules for live cams

We only list public webcams from the Windy.com network, link every image to its live view on Windy, and never stretch the images. We do not list cams in active war zones or in countries that ban broadcasting strike sites and air defences (Ukraine and Israel), and we leave out cams near military bases.

## FAQ

### How many live cams are there in Washington, D.C.?

Right now 36 public webcams within 25 km of central Washington, D.C. are listed on this page (14 more were left out by our safety rules or because they were offline). The list is refreshed every 5 minutes.

### Is there a live cam of the White House?

There is no official public White House webcam. Some cams on the National Mall show the area from a distance; they appear above when available.

### Why are some areas of Washington missing?

We do not list cams near military sites, such as the Pentagon or Joint Base Andrews.

### Where can I find DC traffic cameras?

DDOT, VDOT (511 Virginia) and Maryland's CHART publish official traffic cameras.
