Leavenworth Losing Population - 01/23/12 11:06 AM

According to census numbers, Leavenworth is the only town with significant population loss in North Central Washington over the past decade.

Insurance rates to come down? - 01/07/12 09:00 PM

Some Leavenworth homeowners might find that they could be getting lower rates on their homeowners insurance.

This mostly effects those residents with hydrants whose homes were just outside the city limits.
Thanks to Eric Kossian of Leavenworth insurance for the guest post on our blog and sharing with us these tips.
