After Twin Peaks aired on the ABC television network in April 1990, demands for the world famous “Twin Peaks pies” skyrocketed at Twede’s Cafe in North Bend, Washington. Known then as the Mar-T Cafe, Pat Cokewell and her staff couldn’t keep up with the demand. Tourists from all over came to the Real Twin Peaks to…
In Twin Peaks Part 15 from Season 3, Mr. C is seen driving along a two-lane road at night while on his way to the Convenience Store. Thanks to a quick glimpse of a road sign during this sign, I found the film location in Snoqualmie, Washington.

Today, I’m happy to report I am crossing off another location…
Between the expert sleuthing of my Twin Peaks Blog comrade Steven Miller and the detectives before us on sites like InTwinPeaks.com, there are very few filming locations from this body of work that remain uncharted. Some things, though, are simply out of reach to curious fans. But as the Log Lady says, “the stars turn…
One thing I love about identifying props and details in Twin Peaks is that some of these things are still found at film locations today. For this article, I’m taking a look at a background prop from the Blue Pine Lodge – a Thunderbird totem pole at home to the Martell family and Josie Packard. This…

While exploring the site, I discovered another location briefly seen in Season 3 is long gone…
With February 24 just a few short days away, I returned to Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington to visit the Twin Peaks film location of the log where Laura Palmer’s body was first spotted by Pete Martell. Upon arriving at the Lodge on February 22, 2023, I was greeted with a rather surprising sight –…
