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.
[Cue “Deer Meadow Shuffle”] I’ve previously shared how much I love for the first 30 minutes of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. There is something mesmerizing about the interactions between FBI Agents Chester Desmond and Sam Stanley. Shortly after Gordon Cole introduces them, the Agents head toward Deer Meadow, Washington to examine the body of…
As the Twin Peaks Fan Festival returns to the North Bend and Snoqualmie area in Washington State, I’m reminiscing about my first (and only) visit in August 1996. Attending the fan fest with my buddy Joe, we visited many of the iconic film locations including Salish Lodge and Snoqualmie Falls. Here are several photos from…
For years, I longed to see the deleted scenes in my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Before The Missing Pieces was released in 2014, the closest I got to “seeing” these scenes was a script-to-screen comparison on Dugpa.com. One of those scenes included Special Agent Phillip Jeffries checking into The…
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, there are two scenes that take place at the FBI field office located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Monochromatic flashbacks from this location also appear in Parts 14 and 15 of Twin Peaks: The Return on Showtime. In reality, these scenes were captured at a now demolished building in downtown Seattle,…
Late in Twin Peaks Part 3 on Showtime, there is a short six-second establishing shot of the William Penn statue on top of City Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

One of the most incredible sets in Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime is The Fireman’s House. This location appears in four episodes of The Return including Parts 1, 8, 14 and 17. Always shown in black and white, the actual location used was the former Tower Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, California.
In two previous articles, I detailed the locations of the boy and girl scenes from Twin Peaks Part 8 on Showtime. This final article in that series takes a closer look at the arrival of the Frogmoth at the girl’s bedroom. The interior and exterior scenes were shot in the same location as the “Goodnight…
In a previous article, I discussed the film location in Twin Peaks Part 8 on Showtime where a boy (played by Xolo Maridueña) and a girl (played by Tikaeni Faircrest) find a lucky penny near a gas station in New Mexico. The scene set in 1956 continues with the couple walking along a dirt path…
In the latter half of Twin Peaks Part 8 on Showtime, there is a short scene of a boy (played by Xolo Maridueña) and a girl (played by Tikaeni Faircrest) walking by a gas station. This monochromatic scene is supposed to take place on August 5, 1956 in New Mexico. In reality, the scene was…
