The brief exchange in the Pilot episode between Agent Cooper and Sheriff Truman about traffic lights in Twin Peaks was the perfect summation of what viewers could expect from the sleepy little town with a population of 51,201. To paraphrase Sheriff Truman in Episode 1.003, Twin Peaks is “different” and a “long way from the…
The former Brook Theater in Snoqualmie, Washington served as the film location for Mo’s Motor in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This now demolished film location holds a special place in my heart thanks to the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Festival and Craig Miller and John Thorne’s excellent Twin Peaks magazine, “Wrapped in Plastic.”
With fall on the horizon, it’s almost time to return back to school. This Vacant Peaks article takes a look at Twin Peaks High School absent of students, faculty and people.
In a previous article, I discussed the location of Leland and Laura Palmer’s scene in front of Mo’s Motor from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

During the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Fest, I visited the site of Weyerhaeuser’s former Snoqualmie Mill. For some reason, this is the only photograph I took of the mill that once served as the exterior location for the Packard Sawmill in Twin Peaks.
“Blow the whistle, Josie. It’s quittin’ time.” What does the Packard Sawmill look like without people? As a follow up to a Setting the Stage article, I’ve compiled images from the Mill for a new Vacant Peaks story. The images are taken from the Pilot Episode, Episode 1007, Episode 2001, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and The…
The interior scenes at the Silver Mustang Casino floor in Las Vegas, Nevada were actually shot at the Morongo Casino located at 49500 Seminole Drive in Cabazon, California.
According to the “Twin Peaks: Access Guide to the Town,” the Packard Sawmill is located on Sparkwood Road near Black Lake Falls. The mill played a critical role in most of the first season of Twin Peaks before being destroyed by a fire set by Leo Johnson. This article takes a look at the exterior locations of The…
It’s time to explore Dr. Lawrence Jacoby’s office like Donna Hayward and James Hurley in Twin Peaks Episode 1007. This Vacant Peaks article shows empty sets, props and details without people. His set appeared in Episodes 1001, 1005, 1006 and 1007 as well as The Missing Pieces from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Cue the Hawaiian music.
