To increase public safety, temporary parking restrictions will go into effect on select city roadways in Leavenworth

The City of Leavenworth, Chelan County Fire District #3, Cascade Medical, Chelan County Sheriff’s Office, and Chelan County Emergency Management have collaborated to identify and designate emergency response routes in preparation for the upcoming Village of Lights: Christmastown festival occurring from November 29 through December 28, 2024, in downtown Leavenworth.


The anticipated increase in traffic flows and associated parking congestion along narrow roadways could potentially decrease emergency services response times in the Leavenworth area. To enhance public safety and ensure clear routes for emergency vehicles, temporary parking restrictions will be enforced on the following roadways:


No Parking on Both Sides:

  • Pine St (Fir St to Ski Hill Dr)
  • Ski Hill Dr (Evans St to Pine St)
  • Evans St (Ski Hill Dr to Hwy 2)
  • Commercial St (Division St to 14th St)


These temporary parking restrictions will be in place on the following days:

  • Friday, November 29 through Sunday, December 1, 2024,
  • Friday, December 6 through Sunday, December 8, 2024,
  • Friday, December 13 through Sunday, December 15, 2024,
  • Friday, December 20 through Sunday, December 22, 2024, and
  • Friday, December 27 through Sunday, December 29, 2024.


No Left Turn:

  • North Rd (westbound) onto Chumstick Hwy


This temporary turn restriction will be in place on the following days:

  • Friday, November 29, 2024,
  • Saturday, November 30, 2024,
  • Saturday, December 7, 2024,
  • Saturday, December 14, 2024,
  • Saturday, December 21, 2024, and
  • Saturday, December 28, 2024.


A map is available online. Please be advised that parking restrictions are subject to change. Existing parking restrictions along city roadways remain in effect. All parking restrictions will be strictly enforced. Vehicles in violation of parking restrictions will be towed at the owner’s expense. Violators may be subject to fines.


These additional parking restrictions are crucial for ensuring first responders have quick access during emergencies. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. For questions, please email hello@cityofleavenworth.com or call the City of Leavenworth at (509) 548-5275.

Chelan County puts new speed reduction on Chumstick Highway

If you find yourself on Chumstick Highway near the city of Leavenworth, be mindful of the speed limits!

 

County commissioners last week approved the lowering of the speed limit close to the city limits. The decision was made because of anticipated increased traffic at Chumstick Highway’s intersection with North Road, where a new apartment complex is being built. A future roundabout is planned for the intersection; construction is expected in 2028.

 

The 25-mph zone of Chumstick Highway (just outside of Leavenworth) has been extended to milepost 0.63, or just past the Reindeer Farm. From there until milepost 0.76, the speed limit is 35 mph.

 

After milepost 0.76, the speed limit is 50 mph, which is unchanged.
