Question

**TRAFFIC WARNING** - Please read!

Answer

Those returning to catch ferries or flights on Sunday evening, PLEASE be aware that the primary route back to the north Seattle or Skagit area (Highway 2) typically experiences HEAVY traffic through the Gold bar area on Sunday afternoons/evenings. What usually is a ~2 hour trip can easily be upwards to 4 hours. We recommend folks plan to take the alternative route south of Leavenworth via I-90, leave prior to 12:00PM at the latest to avoid this traffic, and leave with a few hours to spare. Our apologies for the inconvenience! (We've been stuck in it manyyy times) See Google Maps for trip planning: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Leavenworth,+WA+98826/Seattle,+WA/@47.5218707,-122.0092595,9z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m19!4m18!1m5!1m1!1s0x549a4d92a4f8f98d:0xa14f95fb0abfef7e!2m2!1d-120.6614765!2d47.5962326!1m5!1m1!1s0x5490102c93e83355:0x102565466944d59a!2m2!1d-122.3320708!2d47.6062095!2m3!6e0!7e2!8j1567944000!3e0!5i1
