Between now and the end of the year, there are various special events happening in Leavenworth, some really cool stuff too! In previous years, the city planned a big festival around the lighting ceremony (when they turned on all the Christmas lights), but this year they are already lit and there are just various activities and things happening on evenings and weekends. Here’s a little more info:
https://leavenworth.org/calendar/ A little ways down on that page there is a pretty good calendar with info!
As far as travel, from Portland you are probably best suited heading up north on I5 then cross at snoqualmie pass, then north past ellensburg, but that’s of course weather dependent!

I’m a Floridian and super scared to drive anywhere there could be snow let alone drive for +4hrs. The train may take longer but I could enjoy the ride.

A train ride would certainly be a wonderful experience! IMHO this region is one of the most beautiful in the world, it would be a great chance to take it in and not worry about the stress of driving!
I will say though, unless it’s a brand new huge dump of snow, the crews over our passes do a great job of keeping the roads as safe as possible.

How the eff are you going to get from Seattle to Leavenworth without driving anywhere there could be snow?

For lodging, there are a few places with availability, even over a couple different weekends. If you go say from dec 8 - 11, the Howard Johnson is only around the upper 200s each night on avg.
