Karen and I are going to visit Leavenworth, Washington, this week.
Leavenworth is located 20 miles west of Wenatchee, 60 miles north of Ellensburg, 280 miles northeast of Vancouver, on the eastern slopes of the Cascades. The roads are excellent in these areas.
Since the 1960's, this small tourist town features Bavarian themed architecture, German culture, shopping, mountain and river scenery, restaurants, outdoor recreation options, and nice hotels.
We are not sure about flu pandemic restrictions, but assume they are the same in Leavenworth as they are in Vancouver.
On Wednesday (10/28) we drove from Vancouver, up I5 to Mary's Corner, then US 12 to Yakima, then to Ellensburg, then to Leavenworth. We stayed at the Enzian Inn (10/28,10/29). Enjoyed the breakfast and spectacular views from the 4th floor of the Enzian, as well as the Alp-Horn playing at 8:15 am. We walked around, shopped, and enjoyed fine food. The weather was perfect for this trip. We drove home on Friday (10/30) from Leavenworth to Clem Elm, then via I90 to Seattle, and I5 to Vancouver.
The autumn leaf color was at its peak. The yellows and gold leaves were extensive and spectacular along streams and intermixed with evergreens.
