During the Real Twin Peaks 2024 event, I was delighted to see several shops and restaurants in Snoqualmie Valley offer a variety of unique Twin Peaks-themed products and delicious specials.

As the clock winds down on 2019, I’m reflecting on resolutions for the New Year. For this Quotable Peaks article, I’m reminded of Ben Horne’s quest for goodness in the latter half of Twin Peaks Season 2. In Episode 2018, John Justice Wheeler, the mysterious businessman who flew into town to save Ben, shared a…
I pretty much love every scene with Major Garland Briggs (played by Don Davis). He delivers some of the most memorable Twin Peaks quotes from the first two seasons. For this Quotable Peaks article, I examine a brief exchange in Episode 2.020 between Windom Earle (played by Kenneth Welsh) and a drugged-up Major Briggs.
In addition to the dreamy music and mysterious locales, Twin Peaks is filled with many memorable quotes. Therefore, I’m launching a new series on Twin Peaks Blog called Quotable Peaks, which turns the spotlight on some of my favorite quotes and the writers who penned them. I’ll begin with one of my all-time favorite nuggets…
