We’re Big Time: West Richland is on Google Streetview

It finally happened: Google Streetview has added at least some of West Richland to its collection of “street view” images on Google Maps. I was messing with Google Maps tonight and found these images running along Van Giesen St.

and here’s a different angle –

(you can click each image to see a full-size version)

Not familiar with Google Streetview? Google sends a car around with a camera mounted to the top, and it’s constantly taking photos as the car drives around a town. Google ends up with street-level photos that are added to Google Maps to add a visual representation of the towns on the map.

Right now, I can only seem to get Streetview photos to show up along Van Giesen St. I assume the car hit other parts of West Richland, too, but those photos may not have been added into the system just yet.

See For Yourself!

To see this in action, click on this link, which will show directions from Van Giesen to Sahara Pizza on Bombing Range Rd. Look in the left column where the directions are listed, and click the little camera icon.

I think it’s pretty cool — West Richland is hitting the big time.
