I’ve previously discussed how some props, such as green coffee mugs, from the original Twin Peaks series made a leap to The Return on Showtime. Here’s a look at another prop that appears both in the Pilot episode and Part 7 from the third season.
In Episodes 1006 and 1007, we are shown the exterior spot for Dr. Lawrence Jacoby’s office in Twin Peaks. He leaves his office after receiving a video tape of Maddy Ferguson dressed as Laura Palmer.

Calhoun Memorial Hospital in Twin Peaks get the Vacant Peaks treatment in this story. The hospital is used as a setting in several episodes from Seasons 1 and 2 including the Pilot, 1.001, 1.007, 2.001, 2.002, and 2.003. A scene in Episode 2.009 also takes place outside the hospital.

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.

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.

Why are you whittling?” Cooper: “Because that’s what you do in a town where a yellow light still means slow down and not speed up.” The brief exchange in the Pilot episode between Agent Cooper and Sheriff Truman…
The former Brook Theater in Snoqualmie, Washington served as the film location for Mo’s Motor in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
