Had heard a lot abot this town and recently spent a 4-night vacation (stayed at the local KOA) here - what a place! Many wonderful shops and restaurants, beatiful buildings! I'm 100% German, and have visited relatives there a few times, but not since '83 - this place makes me homesick for there. Other acctivities we did while there - visited the reindeer farm, took a day trip to Lake Chelan and took the Lady of the Lake boat trip to Stehekin and back, and did a wonderful hike on Icicle Gorge Trail. Lots of wildlife! Frequently saw Mule Deer and Wild Turkey, and also saw Bighirn Sheep near Entiat on the way to Chelan. I've frequently told people that I'll probably retire when they start shoveling dirt on me. However, with my current job I may actually get a chance to retire and if I do, I intend to retire in this area. Leavenworth itself is somewhat expensive, but retiring to Cashmere, Wenatchee, Entiat, or Chelan a disticnt possibility.
