I keep returning to the Fat Trout Trailer Park as seen in David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The film’s first 35 minutes has mesmerized me for decades now. While I have previously discussed the entire Fat Trout Trailer Park location, this time I’m diving deeper into individual shots from this location….
As a follow up to details about exterior of the Rancho Rosa Estates house, here is a look inside the home where Dougie Jones and Jade share an intimate and transformative afternoon together. This Las Vegas home is actually located in Palmdale, California.
According to the “Twin Peaks Access Guide to the Town,” Calhoun Memorial Hospital is located at the corner of Lynch Road and Falls Avenue in Twin Peaks. In reality, the building’s exterior was shot in Tukwila, Washington. As the sun was setting on October 11, 2019, I dashed over to grab a few updated location…
If you’ve spent any time on Twin Peaks Blog, you’ll know I enjoy finding articles from the early days of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. I particularly like reading about the cherry pie frenzy that descended upon the Mar-T Cafe in North Bend, Washington, known today as Twede’s Cafe. In 1992,…
As summer descends in the Northern Hemisphere, here is a round up of Twin Peaks and David Lynch-themed events taking place around the world from June to September 2026.
On June 10, 1991, the ABC Television Network aired the final two episodes of Mark Frost and David Lynch’s groundbreaking series, Twin Peaks. Episode 2.021 (#28) and 2.022 (#29) were shown back-to-back during an ABC Monday Night Movie event. There were plenty of commentary from reporters about the ending of the series that once took viewers…
When David Lynch and Mark Frost cast Piper Laurie in the role of Catherine Martell, it was a big deal. This incredibly talented actress had a long acting career before she joined the groundbreaking series in the early 1990s. In early 1991, reporter Joey Berlin published a profile of Laurie for the Copley News Service….
One of the earliest articles on Twin Peaks Blog was about artwork by English artist Jon Atwood displayed on the Double R Diner set. This article kicked off years of research into identifying props and other set decorations (there’s even a page dedicated to this work now). I love identifying these set pieces as they…
It’s getting close to bed time so let’s all say “good night” to Special Agent Dale Cooper. This publicity photo was scanned from a photo slide I acquired via an online auction. It’s a still photo taken during Twin Peaks episode 1.002 just before Cooper’s strange dreams of the Red Room, Laura Palmer’s cousin, BOB…
I am still fascinated that several of my Snoqualmie Falls postcards are more than 120 years old (granted, I also think 20 years ago is the 1970s). A sacred site to the Snoqualmie Tribe, this 268-foot waterfall in the town of Snoqualmie is the second most visited natural landmark in Washington state behind Mount Rainier….
An auction lot of Twin Peaks publicity photos contained a unique artifact from obsolete technology – an Associated Press (AP) Laserphoto of Special Agent Dale Cooper and Sheriff Harry S. Truman. This photo was shared via the AP news wire service on August 2, 1990 after it was announced that David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful…
From August 15-17, 2025, the North Bend Theatre in North Bend, Washington held a weekend of activities to celebrate the 33rd Anniversary of U.S. premiere of David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The film made its North American debut at the small town theatre on August 16, 1992. The first of these…
Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: The Return was such an incredible gift. Not only did we get to return to the wonderful and strange town they cerated but we were introduced to many new characters portrayed by outstanding actors. One such individual was Owain Rhys Davis who played F.B.I. Agent Wilson in Parts 14, 15…
In the Twin Peaks pilot, several scenes at The Great Northern Hotel were filmed at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington. I have previously examined locations such as the fireplace, the Concierge desk, and the moment when Sheriff Truman informs Leland Palmer about his daughter Laura. Today, I’m examining the breakfast meeting with the Norwegians in The Great…
It’s time for another beautiful postcard featuring Snoqualmie Falls and Snoqualmie Falls Lodge in Snoqualmie, Washington. Smith-Western Co., Inc. produced this card containing an aerial photo of the magnificent 268-foot waterfall and surrounding area. I love seeing these images as I get to play the game, “When was this photograph taken.?”
