In the Pilot Episode of Twin Peaks, there are two short scenes of James Hurley sitting on a mountain overlook holding a necklace with half a gold heart.   In reality, this scene was shot outside of Snoqualmie, Washington at a spot now known as Snoqualmie Point Park.

I’ve recently been exploring the film locations in Washington and California that were used for The Bookhouse in Season 1 and 2 of Twin Peaks. For this third article, I take a deep dive into the set created in Van Nuys, California for Episodes 2.006, 2.017, and 2.018.
The second of three locations for The Bookhouse appears in Episode 1003 of Twin Peaks. Sheriff Truman, Deputy Hawk and Big Ed Hurley take Special Agent Dale Cooper to this location shortly after enjoying pie and coffee at the Double R Diner.

Joseph Horne (no relation to Ben or Jerry) started his self-named department store in 1849 and quickly built a large building in downtown Pittsburgh in 1879. Eventually, Horne’s was purchased by Federated Department Stores and the Horne’s name was…

On February 21, 2019, Twin Peaks Archive tweeted an oneline schedule from the first day of shooting for the Pilot Episode of Twin Peaks.
