3. Leavenworth: Washinqton State's Bavarian Village (Video Presentation)
Development Processing Coordinator Noland briefly introduced a 30-minute video presentation
depicting the reinvention of the City of Leavenworth in the State of Washington. The following
outlines the highlights of the film:
History - In 1893, Leavenworth began as a railroad boomtown; and in 1903, a
large lumber yard was built and the City continued to prosper. However, in the
1920s the depression hit and then was followed by World War II in the 1940s.
The workers that hadn't left during the depression now left at the beginning of
World War II. Leavenwodh became destitute until 1963 when the citizens joined
together to reinvent the City as a Bavarian village.
· Location - Leavenworth is located in central Washington making it convenient
for days trips from Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, and British Columbia.
· Lodf:lin.q - In the middle of town, visitors have the opportunity to experience
European style lodging, B&B's, inns and elegant hotels.
· Bakeries/delis - a Bavarian Food Court makes it fun to eat and drink Bavarian
style.
Shopping - Old World charm can be found in stores filled with Austrian
costumes, German nutcrackers, Hummels, cuckoo clocks, wooden
toys/carvings, fine linens and souvenirs.
Outdoor/Year-Round Activities - rock climbing, fishing on the Wannatchee
River, skiing, hiking, swimming, white water ratting, sled riding in winter,
horseback riding.
· Festivals - Autumn Leaf Festival, May Fest, Art in the Park, and Christmas
Lighting.
Community Fundraising - the citizens of Leavenworth have raised funds to build
a waterfront park, band stand, public restrooms, antique street lighting, and to
support a choir and a group of bell ringers.
It was noted that the Board received and filed the video presentation.
