Santa Train in Snoqualmie

Last year we rode on the Santa Train in the freezing cold and had such a great time that we decided to do it again. It is starting to turn into a Christmas tradition for our family.

This year the weather was a little more cooperating and Ethan was a lot more intoseeing Santa and riding the train. He was a little anxious at the beginning but as soon as the train started to move he was all smiles. The train leaves from the North Bend Depot and takes you on a twenty minute train ride to their depot in the town of Snoqualmie. Once there, you exit the train to go and see Santa. After Santa you go into one of the old train cars for hot chocolate and fresh baked cookies. Ethan really enjoyed seeing Santa this year and asked for candy, trains, and cars. He really enjoyed the fresh baked cookies too and looking at all of the trains. Plus, after seeing Santa you get to take home a little wooden train that you can build and paint.

We all had a great time and managed to stay warm this time. On our way back on the train Ethan even said bye Santa which was very cute. They do have train events in the summer months as well, and I think we will be looking into that.
