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. Unlike the Pilot Episode, the interior for this scene was shot in southern California…
In Twin Peaks episode 1.003, Sheriff Truman and fellow Bookhouse Boys, Big Ed Hurley and Deputy Hawk, take Special Agent Dale Cooper inside The Bookhouse. He tells Cooper that it’s the place where they have gathered together for the past 20 years and that the coffee is free. But the location they visit is just one…
I recently discussed the film location for the State Prison establishing shot from Twin Peaks episode 1.004. While this extremely brief shot was captured in Monroe, Washington, the interior scenes were shot on a soundstage in southern California. While I’ve been unable to find images from the actual soundstage set, Hank Jennings’ parole hearing scene…

Eventually, Horne’s was purchased by Federated Department Stores and the Horne’s name was…
In the Twin Peaks Pilot, Special Agent Dale Cooper addressed the townsfolk of Twin Peaks at the Twin Peaks Town Hall. With thanks to the now defunct InTwinPeaks.com, I take a deeper diver into this Washington state film location found in town of Carnation.
On February 21, 2019, Twin Peaks Archive tweeted an oneline schedule from the first day of shooting for the Pilot Episode of Twin Peaks. This schedule included scenes from the Double R Diner and the infamous traffic light at the intersection of Bendigo Boulevard and North Bend Way in North Bend, Washington. It also included…
In this Twin Peaks-themed episode of House Hunters, suspended FBI Agent Dale Cooper turned local deputy meets with realtor Irene Littlehorse at the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department to review reasonably priced properties in town. This article builds upon one originally from the now defunct InTwinPeaks.com website. Which home will Cooper choose?
I didn’t set out to write this article today. I was researching the prospective properties that Irene Littlehorse, a realtor from Native Way Realty, showed Deputy Dale Cooper in Episode 2.012. After a coin toss that landed on a folder about Dead Dog Farm, an intrigued Cooper asks to see the cursed property. Like Coop,…
