In December, Washington State transforms into a true winter wonderland: across the state, tree-lighting ceremonies mark the start of this festive season.
The journey begins in Leavenworth, a charming Bavarian-style mountain village where over 500,000 lights illuminate the streets. Christmas concerts, fireworks, and sleigh rides immerse visitors in a storybook holiday atmosphere.
Next, nearby Stevens Pass invites skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts to enjoy its pristine slopes, while Winthrop and the Sun Mountain Lodge offer a cozy retreat after a day of winter sports or hiking around Lake Serene.
Further east, Spokane celebrates the season with skiing at Mount Spokane, dazzling light displays at Riverfront Park, and the Riverfront Winter Market.
On the way back to Seattle, a stop in Pierce County via Snoqualmie Pass is a must to explore Fantasy Lights, a spectacular 4-kilometer drive-through of themed holiday scenes.
From snow-covered mountains to twinkling lights and festive activities, this itinerary captures the full magic of Christmas in Washington State.
