Open 24 hours;

"...the views are spectacular; the Bainbridge Island ferry leaves from Colman Dock; and the popular Summer Nights at the Pier concerts play at sublime Pier 62/63. The Seattle Aquarium and the Odyssey Maritime Discovery Center are also here. The old streetcar clangs along the length of the waterfront, and the green spaces of Myrtle Edwards Park take over from the concrete mayhem at the northern end."

Originally a logging town, Leavenworth adopted its current Bavarian theme in the 1960s, and it's been attracting visitors from all over the world ever since. Seasonal events include the Art in the Park and Christmas Lighting. Indoor possibilities include a visit to the Nutcracker Museum and a gourmet dinner at Restaurant Osterreich. The Blackbird Lodge offers luxurious accommodations, while Mountain Springs Lodge is perfect for larger gatherings or horse excursions. River rafting is a popular summer activity, and Osprey Rafting offers guided tours as well as classes. Mission Ridge has great skiing during the colder months, and romantic sleigh rides are available in town all winter long. Summer weekends and all holidays often require advance reservations, but with a little planning, a weekend in Leavenworth can be a delightful experience.
