The Winter Village In Washington That Will Enchant You Beyond Words

Washington's most famous Christmas town, without a doubt, is the Bavarian village of Leavenworth. That being said, it's far from the only place in the state to enjoy the seasonal beauty. The charming city of Snoqualmie will have you embracing the season until spring.

While Snoqualmie Pass is a top skiing destination, the city itself is best known for its stunning waterfall.

And Snoqualmie Falls looks amazing in the wintertime.

Historic downtown Snoqualmie always embraces the winter spirit, staying decked out in decor from Thanksgiving until after the new year.

From an annual tree lighting and winter market around December 1 to New Year's festivities, you'll find plenty of activities on the local calendar.

Every year, the Northwest Railway Museum's Santa Train ushers little ones between North Bend and Snoqualmie.

But even if you miss out, you can spot Santa all over town all month long.

It's easy to see why locals love Snoqualmie in the wintertime.

Snoqualmie Winter Lights always kicks things off beautifully.

The local retail shops get into the holiday spirit as well.

The downtown area looks positively magical.

From ice skating to train rides to shopping and caroling, there's always something going on in town...

... and all you have to do is walk through the neighborhoods to see houses decked out in lights.

Visit Snoqualmie this season if you need a little winter magic in your life.

Whether you make it a day trip or spend a relaxing night at Salish Lodge & Spa, you'll be glad to spend time in this winter village.
