History

At the confluence of the Icicle Creek and Wenatchee River and the meeting point was a settlement for the Native Yakima, Chinook, and Wenatchi tribes where they hunt salmon in the river and game in the mountains, in an area stretching as far west as Lake Wenatchee.

The first railway route was built through Stevens Pass in 1892 and Leavenworth became a hub for the timber industry because of its perfect location, which is right after the steep slopes of the Cascades. The city housed the headquarters of then Great Northern Railway, whose railroad network spans from Seattle, Washington to Saint Paul, Minnesota. The city was in the decline in the 1920s however, as the main railroad activity shifted to Wenatchee.

The city founded its future in 1962 when Owen and Pauline Watson, owners of a business on Front Street, kicked off Project LIFE (Leavenworth Improvement For Everyone) to transform the city into a mock Bavarian village after their visit to the Danish-themed town Solvang, California four years earlier, inspired by the European Alps which is a fitting backdrop for Leavenworth. Since then, this Bavarian theme has been the main selling point for travelers across the U.S. to visit the area, either just to experience the culture, or as a transit point for recreation in the North Cascades.

Climate

Leavenworth has a typical climate of Eastern Washington — hot in summer and cold in winter — though slightly on the wetter side because of its close proximity to the Cascades that typically shields the town from the heaviest precipitations. Snow and chill is always expected in the winter, but it is mostly dry and crisp in all other seasons.

While driving in town may still be manageable with the snowy conditions, driving in and out of the city can be harsh, especially if you are going to the other side of the Cascades. See #Stay safe|§ Stay Safe for more information.

Plan

Most of the shops are open roughly 10AM Monday - 6PM, and it would be a shame to miss all the window shopping. If you arrive in the morning and the town is pretty quiet before 10AM (without even many options for breakfast; consider eating at your hotel instead) but gets busy quickly. Meanwhile, most restaurants open at 11AM and close between 9PM and 11PM. Arriving in the evening, you'll likewise find there's not much to do other than eat and drink, and your options for those may be limited if you arrive too late.

Internet & Phones

Leavenworth shares the 509 area code with the entire area of the Washington state east of the Cascade Mountains. ☎ signals are generally trustworthy once one gets off the mountains. In the mountains, spotty reception can be found on the junction between US2 and entrance to Lake Wenatchee and right at Stevens Pass. Once one is off the downtown area however, expect rudimentary to non-existent cell services, even in the populated areas! Set your GPS or navigation on your phone before driving. Do not hold or use your phone while driving, even while stopped in a red light, as it is a punishable offence in the state.

Stay Safe

Winter driving conditions, especially if you are coming from or to Western Washington, can be dangerous and slippery as snow can often fall in feet, though the main highway is often cleared quite quickly because of frequent patrons to the Stevens Pass ski resort. Snoqualmie Pass usually closes less frequently due to its lower elevation, though getting here would involve an hour-long detour along the Blewett Pass; Blewett lies at a slightly lower altitude than Stevens Pass but gets cleared less frequently. Apply the usual winter driving safety precautions and drive extra careful, or better yet check the weather forecast for expected road conditions and best times to travel. For the latest information about driving conditions on the mountain passes, please check the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for Stevens Pass, Snoqualmie Pass, and Blewett Pass].
Watch out for foot traffic while driving on Front Street, especially on weekends and during peak season where there are more of it. Even though there are marked crossings, jaywalking is still common here. Pack some patience as you search for parking as it will be frustratingly hard to find during those times.
