Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam by Elonka at 1:46 pm EDT, Oct 4, 2004
Not quite a live stream, but it does have images that are updated every 5 minutes. According to the webpage, this USGS cam is the closest-operating camera to the volcano, which means about 4 miles away. There were other cameras at the Johnston Ridge Observatory, but since the Level III alert went out earlier today, that facility has been evacuated, leaving only this webcam sending automated images.

The volcanocam IS at the Johnson ridge observatory...

Also, they have changed it to only update every 10 minutes :(.
I have just about every picture that was uploaded to the site since Friday. (yea for C# and easy web client programming.)

Not only that, but There is a 10 minute image delay + 10 minute server delay, so you see what the mountain looked like 20 mins ago. I found that watching NWCN in one window and MSNBC in another window was the best way to monitor what is going on (I managed to be watching the recent blast this morning as it happened).

This IS all VERY cool though. :)
