Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Leavenworth is a lovely central Washington village that is best known for its unique German-style heritage and cultural attractions. The city, which originally developed as a logging community within the beautiful Cascade Mountains, reinvented itself as a European-themed tourist destination in the 20th century after the departure of the area's railroading industry. Today, it is home to a variety of beautiful Bavarian and Alpine-style buildings and German-themed attractions, including beer halls and German restaurants on its lovely Front Street.

The unique Nutcracker Museum displays exhibits of historic nutcrackers produced in Europe and the United States. Each year, the city hosts a number of German-themed events, including a fall Oktoberfest celebration and a holiday Christkindlmarkt.
