The City of Leavenworth’s Housing Advisory Committee is comprised of volunteers appointed by the Mayor and are dedicated to creating housing opportunities for middle housing (80-120% Area Median Income) which is a great need in our community. Many of the people who work in Leavenworth cannot afford to live here, making it imperative to find solutions.
City of Leavenworth Code of Ethics for Elected and Appointed Officials

Recently Asked Questions (RAQs)

At this current point in time, the City has not made any decisions or plans on selling the Golf Course. The City has a contract with the Leavenworth Golf Club through 2033, and we intend to honor that agreement.
