I recently realized I have not properly detailed all the film locations associated with new Fat Trout Trailer Park from Twin Peaks: The Return. The original Fat Trout from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was demolished by February 2011 following multiple flooding incidents from the nearby Snoqualmie River.
