Twin Peaks X Society6 – Packard Sawmill and Horne’s Department Store

Australian artist Steve Rhodes has been virtually visiting iconic Twin Peaks locations throughout the month of June as part of his 30th Anniversary artwork for Society6.  As this month-long celebration winds down, he leaves us with two more spots – the Packard Sawmill and Horne’s Department Store.

The Twin Peaks X Society6 collection is no longer available as of 2024. This article is an archive of the artwork featured in this collection released in 2020 for the 30th anniversary of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange series.

Steven’s art for this milestone anniversary has been such a treat. He mixes real world design with icons you see in the show. I love the choice of colors and it’s awesome to see all of the pieces together.

PACKARD SAWMILL

According to the “Twin Peaks Access Guide to the Town,” the Packard Sawmill  was located along Sparkwood Road near the shores of Black Lake.

In reality, the sawmill was the Snoqualmie Falls Lumber Company which began operating in 1914. Most of the main sawmill was shut down in 1989 leaving only the wood-finishing plant. Sadly, a fire in February 1989 destroyed much 120,000-square-foot plywood plant. The entire facility closed on May 30, 2003. You can read more about the history of the Weyerhaeuser company on their official website.

In 1989, the Twin Peaks crew visited Snoqualmie, Washington about two months prior to the mill closing to capture the footage used in the series (e.g. saw blades, logs being cut, establishing shots, etc.). All that’s left today is an abandoned facility complete with one remaining smoke stack.

The Welcome to Twin Peaks Twitter account (@ThatsOurWaldo) shared this great behind-the-scenes image of the Packard Saw Mill logo used in the series. This was shot in Southern California versus Snoqualmie, Washington.

HORNE’S DEPARTMENT STORE

In reality, this building exterior is located in the Pioneer Square Preservation District at 240 Second Avenue South in downtown Seattle, Washington. Fellow Bookhouse Boy @JediRealEstate visited this spot on June 26, 2020 and shared this photo with me.

The Baker Building was constructed in 1900 by Charles H.  Baker, president of the Seattle Cataract Company and built for the Snoqualmie Falls Power Company, both of which he owned. Baker created the first underground generating station in the world at Snoqualmie Falls.

The two story Baker building in downtown Seattle was “an electrical substation that would receive the power generated at the falls and distribute it to the growing fleet of street cars in Seattle and Tacoma and ultimately to businesses and homes.”
