Snoqualmie, WALocal News

The Snoqualmie Valley's holiday train rides return, featuring the Santa Limited and Yuletide Express, offering families two festive ways to celebrate with Santa. The Santa Limited provides a full two-hour round-trip from North Bend, allowing passengers to meet Santa in the beautifully restored Chapel Car 5 Messenger of Peace. Meanwhile, the Yuletide Express offers a shorter round-trip journey from Snoqualmie Depot to Snoqualmie Falls, complete with Santa's visits to families. Both experiences run on weekends from late November through December, combining holiday cheer with stunning winter views of the Snoqualmie River Valley. Children receive gifts from Santa, and every passenger enjoys peppermint treats upon returning.

The Santa Limited operates on specific weekends, while the Yuletide Express runs on select dates, making it easy for families to plan their holiday outings. These festive train rides not only celebrate the season but also honor the rich railway history that shaped the Snoqualmie Valley. Families can create treasured memories during this special time.
