Small Garmisch in the North Cascades, one can hardly believe it.

Until the first half of the 20th century, Leavenworth had an important freight loading station as the community's largest economic factor. When the economy collapsed after the station was closed due to the relocation of the railroad lines, Leavenworth threatened to become a ghost town.

The illusion of a Bavarian mountain village is further enhanced by the surrounding mountains.
