I think the last photos released for public use were in the mid to late 90's.

how do you get clear pictures. all i see is not very clear, like infared or something.

nevermind. they only have detailed photos of major cities.

I'd make a very good educated guess that the pictures are 3-5 years old. definetly no more. I saw my house and I know the dates of when some details I noticed. Thats for portland oregon anyway, not sure about washington. they may have different dates.

I was trying to get a picture of the house I live in now, but the pictures dont let you zoom in very far. i can see blobs of colors where trees and buildings are, but no details.

I know the photos of mine has to be within the last 2 years, because both my sheds are there.

Ya, it starts to get blurry if you zoom in too far. It is neat how you can see every address, I did my friend's house, and they live out in the sticks. I found it, and saw their 5th wheel parked next to the house.
