We took a trip up to Leavenworth, WA. If you've never heard of Leavenworth, it's a mock Bavarian village in central Washington. The story of how Leavenworth became what it is today is an interesting one. In the early 1900s, Leavenworth had a large sawmill and was headquarters for the Great North Railroad. The railroad relocated in the 1920s and the economy went downhill. It pretty much stayed that way until the 1960s, when they decided to turn the town into a German village as a way of saving the community.
We only stayed one night, but that was enough to make us realize we need to go back!
