JUNE 9, 2025 EDITION

We are excited to introduce our newest tool designed to promote our members and encourage residents to shop locally. Creating this directory also serves as a way to express our gratitude to all the businesses supporting the Leavenworth Chamber through your membership. After thoroughly editing this document several times, we know each and every one of you!

If you purchased an enhanced listing for 2025, we've also included your logo in the directory which will also be printed and mailed to the 98826 zip code, so expect a hard copy in your mailbox soon!

PS  - If you notice any errors in your listing, please let us know as soon as possible so we can correct any typos before it goes to the printer on 13th.
