One story I’ve been tracking down for years comes from the production of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. During the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Festival, I heard a story about Laura Palmer’s soggy cereal. Thanks to a conversation with a reporter from the Daily Herald in Everett, Washington, I now know the origin of…
Between the expert sleuthing of my Twin Peaks Blog comrade Steven Miller and the detectives before us on sites like InTwinPeaks.com, there are very few filming locations from this body of work that remain uncharted.

One of the highlights from The Real Twin Peaks 2023 event in Snoqualmie Valley, Washington was a day filled with interesting, informative and entertaining panel discussions about topics related to Twin Peaks. Here is a brief recap of the panels complete with video.
