Small Garmisch in the North Cascades, one can hardly believe it. When Leavenworth was cut off from the railway network in the 1960s and the economic future was endangered, the idea came up with a crazy and brilliant idea: the alpine environment is reminiscent of Bavarian areas, so let's stage Bayern here: "Munich without the passport". Beer cellar, brass band, maypole, everything is there. "Welcome to Leavenworth".

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. In the 1960s, the remaining residents, with great commitment and without any historical reason for doing so, transformed the town into a "typical" mountain town in the Alps. The illusion of a Bavarian mountain village is further enhanced by the surrounding mountains.
