Travel Note
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)
Flight
If you're coming from out-of-state, check out flights into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. You'll then have a 3-hour drive up to the mountains, so we encourage carpooling if you can!
Flight
If you'd rather not make the drive up into the mountains, there are flights from SEA-TAC into Lake Chelan to make the trip a bit easier.
House Or Rental
AirBnB and VRBO have incredible options in the area (anything from tiny homes to big lodges), so if you'd like to find a neat place to get away for the weekend, this will be a great option -- consider booking soon so you don't miss out!
