The Leavenworth Drive – an annual event that draws hundreds of the finest European automobiles and enthusiasts from all over the Northwest.


The team at Northwest European is proud to present you with the Leavenworth Drive 2012, an event combining our passion for European cars with our desire to give back to the community. We are excited to bring you one of the most scenic, enjoyable and memorable drives the region has to offer. This year marks the 11th annual Leavenworth Drive, so mark your calendar now to join in with your European car - all makes, models, and years of European cars are welcome!

We are proud to announce that our Charity Spotlight this year is focused on Children’s Hospital. Ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report and Child magazines, Children's serves as the pediatric referral center for Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Founded in 1907, Children's provides excellent patient care with compassion and respect, and conducts cutting-edge pediatric research.

Join us as we celebrate European automobiles, a wonderful charity, and enjoying the good old American road...all while ending up in a small slice of Bavarian Germany – Leavenworth, Washington.

Hopefully this is soon enough notice for everyone. If you have never been on this drive it is truly an awesome event to attend and definitely not the one to skip out on.

It was unusually wet but still a fun time. What car were you in, sorry I can't remember.

[JackS60]

I'm in. This was my first event I ever went to and despite the rain it was so amazing! Can't wait!

[Zappo]

I might show up at the start, but I won't do the drive. I did it a few times years ago, but the number of idiots who show up has greatly increased.
