While researching Twin Peaks High School, I’ve discovered there were five film locations used in the series. The schools in Pilot Episode and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me were filmed in Washington state. Van Nuys High School served as the backdrop for Episodes 2010-2012 in season 2. This brings me to the bathroom scenes…
In season two of Twin Peaks, there are three episodes – 2.010, 2.011, and 2.012 – with scenes inside Twin Peaks High School. Unlike the high schools seen in the Pilot episode and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, which were shot in Washington state, this location is found in Van Nuys, California. It was the…
Five locations served as the setting for Twin Peaks High School. The second of these locations is found in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The Pilot Episode used Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie as the backdrop. For the film, the crew traveled to Snohomish High School in Snohomish, Washington. Both high schools have one…
Twin Peaks High School in Twin Peaks used five different film locations. Today, I’m focusing on the first of these locations which served as the exterior establishing shot location in Season 1 and 2. The interiors of this location were used in the Pilot Episode and made a brief appearance in Season 3 on Showtime.

To paraphrase Sheriff Truman in Episode 1.003, Twin Peaks is “different” and a “long way from the…
The former Brook Theater in Snoqualmie, Washington served as the film location for Mo’s Motor in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This now demolished film location holds a special place in my heart thanks to the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Festival and Craig Miller and John Thorne’s excellent Twin Peaks magazine, “Wrapped in Plastic.”
With fall on the horizon, it’s almost time to return back to school. This Vacant Peaks article takes a look at Twin Peaks High School absent of students, faculty and people.
In a previous article, I discussed the location of Leland and Laura Palmer’s scene in front of Mo’s Motor from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The service center is located next to an intersection that serves as the backdrop to two important scenes from David Lynch’s feature film motion picture and Twin Peaks Part 6 on…
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Mo’s Motor is a service station that Leland and Laura Palmer visit after being accosted “out of the blue” by Mike the One Armed Man. The former building was located in Snoqualmie, Washington and made a brief appearance in Twin Peaks season two.
During the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Fest, I visited the site of Weyerhaeuser’s former Snoqualmie Mill. For some reason, this is the only photograph I took of the mill that once served as the exterior location for the Packard Sawmill in Twin Peaks.
