Visiting Seattle between Christmas and New Year

I assiduously avoid snow, so I'm not much help there either--although my guess is you could go to Snoqualmie, closer than Baker, and find trails for snowshoeing.

I second the Fremont recommendation--it's a fun and funky place to spend a day. If you're in the mood for the outdoors, try walking in the Arboretum, and there's a really lovely Japanese garden there as well. Feeling arty, and Pioneer Square, south of Pike Place Market, is full of galleries.

I have to agree, Snoqualmie Pass may be closer than Mount Baker. I am not certain how much snowshoeing is done there. I tried to run a search on Google for Snoqualmie and snowshoeing and did not turn up much.

you could definitely find some snowshoeing near Snoqualmie, a 60 minute drive from city center. I have done it there and I hear they have plenty of snow(now).
