Leavenworth

The Wenatchee River defines the setting of Leavenworth — it runs through a broad Cascade Mountains valley, shaping the town’s riverside parks, rafting season and routes toward the surrounding forest. Once a railroad and timber center, Leavenworth remade its downtown in a Bavarian-style architectural theme during the 1960s, giving its storefronts and seasonal celebrations a distinctive identity in Washington State. Icicle Creek enters the Wenatchee River near town, leading west toward mountain valleys used for hiking, climbing and winter sports. The area’s calendar includes Maifest and the autumn Oktoberfest, while the holiday lighting season draws attention to the compact central streets.
