Taking Their walk
After staying at a cabin by Plain/Lake Wenatchee Washington, we headed home past Leavenworth. We went home to Seattle via Blewitt Pass. Leavenworth is a beautiful Bavarian village themed city of about 2,400 residents in the central part of Washington State. Its scenic Cascade Mountain setting, over one hundred charming shops and restaurants, and a wide range of events throughout of the year make it extremely popular with visitors. Over two million visitors a year come to Leavenworth for festivals, theater, recreation, or to simply stroll in this quaint little Bavarian styled village. Leavenworth is located in the Wenatchee River Valley in Chelan County. It sits at an elevation of 1,200 feet, with nearby mountains towering above up to 8,000 feet. Seattle is the nearest major city, 135 miles to the west, and can be reached by car in about 2.5 hours. During the 1960’s, after decades of a floundering economy, city leaders made significant changes as the city was transformed into a Bavarian themed village. The city requires all buildings in Leavenworth to be built in a Bavarian style. This even includes the McDonald’s! Complementing the architecture, the city is adorned with hand painted murals and hanging flower baskets from spring to fall. Leavenworth is a four-season city and has beautiful blossoms in the spring, hot summers, and outstanding fall colors. In the winter, Mother Nature provides a beautiful white décor as the city average 95 inches of snowfall per year.
