Take a Weekend Trip to Leavenworth
The city's closeness to many excellent weekend getaways from Seattle is a big draw. One such weekend escape is a Bavarian town known for its winter splendor on the other side of Stevens Pass. Just over two hours separate Seattle and Leavenworth.
In the 1960s, this picturesque small town took on a Bavarian persona, and it is now one of the state's top tourist destinations. This Alps-inspired village is surrounded by breathtaking mountain peaks, which heightens its allure in the winter. As the days become shorter throughout the colder months, Leavenworth's evenings become a spectacle of lights and color. Weekend excursions are made unforgettable by roasted chestnuts, carol choirs, and the feeling of snow falling. Schedule a reminder for the December weekend Leavenworth Christmas Lighting Festivals. A popular winter weekend trip from Seattle is Leavenworth because it is close to large mountainous scenery. In the winter, outdoor adventure is quite accessible in Leavenworth. Backcountry skiing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing are some of the snowy activities available nearby.
