I recently shared a comprehensive look at all of the exterior shots of the Palmer House in Twin Peaks. Two homes in Washington State were used in the series – one located in Monroe and one in Everett. I had the opportunity to visit the latter home following the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Fest.
The Palmer residence is one of the most iconic homes in Twin Peaks. For this Setting the Stage article, I’m taking a closer look at the exterior scenes from Seasons 1 and 2.
In Twin Peaks Part 7 on Showtime, there is an aerial establishing shot of Yankton Federal Prison in Sioux City, South Dakota. But like many things in Twin Peaks, looks can be deceiving. The real location used for this establishing shot is located approximately 1,388 miles to the east of the actual   minimum security federal prison…
In Twin Peaks Part 5 on Showtime, there is an establishing shot of the Pentagon at night in Arlington, Virginia. Similar to footage of Buenos Aires and Diane Evans’ apartment, this short clip is stock footage from Getty Images.

Big Ed’s Gas Farm in Twin Peaks was a service station run by Big Ed Hurley. I’m taking a closer look at the exteriors of this location as seen in Seasons 1-3 of Twin Peaks. Interestingly, the location “moved” three times during the run of the show.
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Special Agents Chet Desmond and Sam Stanley visit Hap’s Diner for dinner following their early morning examination of Teresa Banks’ body at the Deer Meadow Sheriff’s Department. Since I adore the first 35 minutes of David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece, this location is one of my favorite spots. While its…
Have you ever looked at something for so long but couldn’t quite recall where you have seen it before? This happened to me while identifying the film location for Miriam Sullivan’s trailer in Twin Peaks Part 10 on Showtime. It wasn’t until the next morning after publishing that I realized what I found.
