The Hayward House in Twin Peaks used two film locations. An exterior of a home in Monrovia, California was used in Seasons 1 and 2. For the Pilot Episode and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, the home was located in Everett, Washington. This time, I’m taking a closer look at the latter home built in 1910.
But first, where exactly was the home located in the series? According to a postcard Donna Hayward receives from James Hurley in Episode 2018, the home address was 552 Oak Street, Twin Peaks, WA 55219. In the “Twin Peaks Access Guide to the Town,” the house is located on the corner of Church Lane and Owl Street.
In reality, the home is located at 3316 Grand Avenue in Everett, Washington.
The Hayward House is located about an 8-minute walk from the Palmer House that was seen in the Pilot Episode, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and Season 3 on Showtime.
The first time we see the Hayward House is in the Pilot Episode when Mike Nelson and Bobby Briggs stop by to see Donna.
A zoomed in image from Google Maps Street View shows the same green door (circa 2012).
During this same scene, Bobby Briggs is seen standing on the hood of his car that is parked on Grand Avenue.
A similar street view was shown in a scene from The Missing Pieces.
Google Maps Street View offers a look at the house across the street from the Hayward Home.
Donna is seen sneaking out of the house through a bedroom window. This scene and a brief preceding shot of Doc Hayward speaking with Eileen Hayward were most likely shot inside the 5-bedroom home.
A zoomed in image from Google Maps Street View shows the window Donna climbs out.
There is one brief exterior shot that was used in Episode 2022 that was originally from the Pilot. Sadly, it appears most of the large trees directly in front of the Hayward house are now gone.
I couldn’t get an exact match on Bing Maps of the scene from Episode 2022 but this gives a look at the homes across the street along with the street sign that is still standing.
While the Pilot Episode didn’t show much of the Hayward House, the film made up for it. The image above shows where some scenes took place around the house circled in red.
Laura really does walk along the sidewalk in front of the Hayward House in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
Notice the stairs and the red house in the image from Bing Maps.
The brief scene of the tree-lined sidewalk and the scene of Leland Palmer parking on the street took place in front of the house.
As mentioned, it appears some of those large trees have been replaced. This image from Bing Maps in 2014, however, shows the chain link fence and two of the trees still planted along the sidewalk.
If you travel a little further down the sidewalk on Grand Avenue, you’ll find the “Mike is the man” scene from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
I close with a tribute to the former InTwinPeaks.com site. Below is an image about the Hayward Residence in Everett, Washington that was once featured on the now defunct website. Click on the image to enlarge. Thank you to Charles for exploring the area and sharing your findings.
