History
Leavenworth has a remarkable history of transformation. Long before settlement, the Wenatchi, Yakama and Chinook peoples hunted the surrounding valleys and fished the Wenatchee River and Icicle Creek. Settlers arrived in the late 1800s, and the community grew rapidly after the Great Northern Railway reached the area in 1893. Logging, mining, agriculture and the railroad helped Leavenworth become a thriving mountain town before the railroad relocated and the timber industry declined, leaving the community struggling for decades. In the 1960s, local leaders reinvented Leavenworth by embracing its dramatic Alpine setting and creating the Bavarian-themed village known today. That vision transformed the community into one of Washington's premier year-round destinations, attracting visitors from around the world. Today, Leavenworth combines its distinctive Bavarian character with exceptional access to the Cascade Mountains, Wenatchee River, Alpine Lakes Wilderness and a remarkable variety of outdoor recreation. Its unique blend of history, natural beauty, festivals, dining, shopping and four-season adventure makes the area one of Central Washington's most sought-after recreational destinations.
