DRIVING DIRECTIONS TO LEAVENWORTH

Leavenworth is located on Highway 2, twenty–two miles northwest of Wenatchee in the central part of Washington State. Seattle is the nearest major city, 135 miles to the west, and can be reached by car in about 2.5 hours.

Leavenworth is at the half waypoint of the cascade loop, which is a beautiful drive than can be done from the Seattle area by taking Highway 2 east.

To complete the loop, and take the faster route returning from Leavenworth, briefly take Highway 2 east, then Highway 97 south (follow signs to Cle Elum), and then Interstate 90 East from Cle Elum to Seattle or vice versa.
