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 2014, 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 14th 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. MINI Meeting Point: Dairy Queen in Eastgate
Event Date: Saturday, June 14, 2014 Donation – There is a minimum donation of $10.00 USD per car. All proceeds will be donated to our Charity Spotlight organization. Please come with a full tank of gas to the meeting location! This event is not a speed or racing event, this is a casual cruise through some very scenic roads in Washington State. If you want to speed, please do it somewhere else. Below are a couple links to videos from previous years. Note, the people who make these videos may have their own bias on what to show. You will see "everything" European here, not just tuner cars, BMWs and VWs PSMINI Members Confirmed via this thread: Edited by SodaJeff - June/10/14 at 7:27pm |

Ya know, the past few years of this were hovering near the 1,000 car mark. MOST "vw" events are open to all euros, like posted above, there's a bias sometimes but... anywho, many, many Mini's need to come. It's always a blast! Official site: http://www.leavenworthdrive.com/event-info.asp |

This is my first year going and I think it would be a blast to have a mini invasion. There's a good amount of hotels in Ellensburg for those who want to make a weekend out of it.
For those who plan on attending we should rally up somewhere and cruise together. |

Hiupther, might as well meet at the official spot (Bellevue College) to donate and see the whole mass/mess of cars. It's an experience ... |

It's always a crowded mess trying to get onto the Bellevue College property.
They have volunteers directing where you get to park - so you can't cruise through the lots looking for friends. If we want to arrive together, park together, look cool together and make a MINI invasion - then we should probably meet for coffee or donuts somewhere close and cruise in as a group - |

Yes, if you don't want to get separated do a group roll-in! I always plan on being "late" to the BCC group to be a first-out ... hasn't really worked out yet ... |

I'm not too familiar with that area so name a place and time and i'll be there. I agree that meeting up prior to the college is a good idea.
Also, I'm down to party in Leavenworth... This should be epic!! |

If anyone plans on staying overnight I'd suggest getting something booked asap! I was shooting for the cabins at KOA but they are sold out and I had to go with something pricier ..

There's also lodging in ellensburg; which is where we're staying.
It's only 20 miles from Leavenworth... If anyone is looking. |

I think Ellensburg is more like 55 miles from Leavenworth - did you perhaps mean Wenatchee? We've stayed in the Hilton Garden Inn in Wenatchee before - nice spot if Leavenworth lodging is hard to come by. |

This sounds fun! I'm IN.
The address for Bellevue Community College for anyone who needs it is - 3000 Landerholm Circle SE, Bellevue, per their FB link. Perhaps we could all meet nearby at 148th Ave Coffee Shop and drive in together. It gets great reviews for coffee and tea on Yelp. The address is 2649 Landerholm Cir SE, Bellevue, 98007. Although it could be busy with lots of others and has a small parking lot. Haven't been there, just looking at it on Google Maps. There is also a Dairy Queen nearby with a big parking lot at 3080 148th Ave SE, Bellevue, 98007 Also, can someone edit the original post to show who has confirmed and give the place to meet? Thanks! |

Hey Everyone -
Sorry I've been off this thread. My gal Shari went in for back surgery Monday and it's thrown my hobbies off. A couple quick things: 1. I'll update the original post. 2. You won't be able to go to the 148th Coffee Shop, or even get near it. It's too close and with 1000 cars showing up - it's a plan that won't work. 3. Meeting at the DQ makes WAY more sense. I'll post that address and finalize the time. Should my Saturday get miraculously free, I'll be there to lead. Otherwise - Have a great time. |

Sorry folks,.. I'm going to bail on this... Too much pressure at work with a looming deadline next week and I'm not fired up about the drive in this rain this weekend. Ya'all have fun.

My girls and I were looking for something to do for Father's Day. I'm thinking this could be fun way to spend a few hours.
I'm in Monroe so I wouldn't want to drive down to Bellevue to meet up. If one of you [hiupther360, ladyinred, no.9, Escape Pod, BurnerS (maybe), SodaJeff (maybe)] would be willing to text me when you are nearing Monroe, I could be waiting near the Highway Auto Parts, the last business on Hwy 2 as you leave Monroe towards Sultan, and I could hop in line with you. Whaddya say?

The cruise route is Hwy. 2 right thru Monroe. You will see the group flow thru, jump in when you see Mini's? edit* didn't read that thoroughly ... yes, someone text this man when ya'll get into Monroe. My friend Adri is pregnant, she doesn't want to do the BCC meet up either. I WILL be there but we are leaving from my house in Lynnwood. Sooooo, yeah ... hopefully you guys make it work. See you on the pass (1/2 way pitstop, H&R springs will be there with goodie bags) or in town! Edited by no.9 - June/13/14 at 11:47am |

Oops - can you take me off the attendee list? I was just putting in a helping word regarding hotel accommodations (Wenatchee vs Ellensburg). We're fully occupied with planning and paperwork completion for the Twists & Turns rally in two weeks!!

I hope you guys catch up to my friends and I. We plan to cruise nice and slow since we figure we'll be on 522 before the main group. I'll be in the white/black roof Mini along with a slammed silver GS400 and a tuned dark blue MKVI GTI |

Damn! If you couldn't tell, I was stoked for my cousin and his GS to come. He didn't even make it one whole day before wussing out, saying his new suspension is too low he'll be in his ladies orange Sonic. boooooooo
