One highlight from the Real Twin Peaks 2026 event was a conversation with Twin Peaks writer and producer Harley Peyton. Fans from around the world gathered in the historic North Bend Theatre in North Bend, Washington as authors John Thorne and Scott Ryan spoke with Peyton about his Emmy Award-nominated work on the groundbreaking television…
When Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks first aired on Japanese televisions in May 1991, audiences couldn’t get enough of their wonderful and strange show. During the Real Twin Peaks 2026 event, I presented an hour-long, free panel on Saturday, February 21 at the Black Dog Arts Cafe in Snoqualmie about the show’s connections to…
After a full day of activities on Friday February 20, 2026, Real Twin Peaks Dugpa(SS) ticket holders gathered at the Moose Lodge 1666 for an evening of improv by Seattle’s Unexpected Productions followed by karaoke hosted by KJ Dwaine Wheeler. It was a wonderful (and strange) night of laughter, song and friendship in Snoqualmie Valley.
I love finding vintage postcards of Snoqualmie Falls with Mid-Century inspired designs. This one from Smith-Western, Co. Inc. features the majestic and sacred 268-foot waterfall and the former Snoqualmie Falls Lodge known today as Salish Lodge & Spa.
One of my favorite places to visit in Snoqualmie Valley is Olallie State Park. Located about 10 miles from downtown North Bend, Washington, this Washington State Park served as the film location for scenes in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and Twin Peaks: The Return. For attendees to the Real Twin Peaks 2026 event,…

During the Real Twin Peaks 2026 event, Vinnie Guidera led a free panel discussion titled…
March 14 is a great day to celebrate with a delicious slice of cherry pie. When Twin Peaks first aired on the ABC Television Network, fans from around the world descended on the former Mar-T Cafe (now Twede’s Cafe) in North Bend, Washington to try a slice of heavenly pie. Garnet Cross, who began working at…
The Jones’ house in Twin Peaks: The Return is filled with lots of little treasures that capture the life of a modern family living in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sonny Jim attends school just like every other child his age. Naturally, he had accessories like a lunch bag to accompany him during the school day. In Twin…
On February 28, 2026, I left my home in the Snoqualmie Valley (a.k.a. The Real Twin Peaks) and “gave myself a present” of a short road trip to Burien, WA to visit the Highline Heritage Museum, the new home of Bruce Bickford’s miniature town of Twin Peaks.
Next time you are visiting Snoqualmie, Washington, I invite you to stop by a replica Welcome to Twin Peaks sign that’s now located outside the Jeff Warren State Farm office. During the recent Real Twin Peaks event, I stopped by the sign to grab photos and chat with Jeff whom I profiled in a Twin…
