In the Twin Peaks pilot, there is a brief scene between Sylvia Horne, her daughter Audrey and Johnny’s nurse. The dining room is different than the one seen in episode 1.002 when Jerry Horne returns from Paris. The dining room from the pilot was captured while the crew was on location at Kiana Lodge in Washington…
During the Real Twin Peaks 2025 event in Snoqualmie Valley, Washington, I stayed at the iconic Salish Lodge & Spa in Snoqualmie, Washington. Upon check-in, they provided me a copy of the their “Welcome To the Real Twin Peaks Driving Tour Map.” While you can find hundreds of film locations documented on Twin Peaks Blog,…
On Saturday, February 22, fellow Twin Peaks location hunter Vinnie Guidera and I hosted a free panel at the Black Dog Arts Cafe during the Real Twin Peaks 2025 event. During this hour-long discussion, we shared tidbits, insights and fun facts about filming locations in Washington state and their Southern California counterparts.
My visit to the Real Twin Peaks 2025 event was my eighth trip to Washington since Sept. 2019. Before the event started, I visited a few Twin Peaks film locations in the towns of North Bend and Snoqualmie to take photos. Typically, I like recreating screen accurate shots for the Twin Peaks Locations articles. This…
I recently discussed how the Twin Peaks crew used Eat at Rudy’s which was Eat at Judy’s in Part 18 to capture scenes used in Part 2 at the cheap Buckhorn Motel. This wasn’t the first time where one location doubled as two different sets. In episode 2.013, there is a brief scene with Major Briggs…
Looking back at Twin Peaks: The Return, I’m incredibly impressed with how the cast and crew put everything together. They weren’t shooting a television series – the production schedule was like an 18-hour film. The production timeline was aggressive with sometimes having only a day to capture footage in one location before packing up and…
During production of the first season of Twin Peaks in late 1989, a second-unit crew returned to Snoqualmie Valley to capture additional establishing shots seen throughout the series. These shots were peppered throughout the show including one scene found in episode 1.006. Leo Johnson is seen running from the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department after eliminating Waldo…
As a Twin Peaks fan, there is no greater joy than visiting Washington state where David Lynch and Mark Frost filmed their show and 1992 feature film. I’ve been making the trek to Snoqualmie Valley for the past several years. There are plenty of places to stay that give you easy access to the Real…
My first visit to the Real Twin Peaks of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington was in August 1996 for the Twin Peaks Fan Festival. During the event, I took a bus tour of the film locations which included the Mt. Si Motel in North Bend, Washington. This was the spot used in David Lynch’s masterpiece Twin Peaks: Fire…
After reading Director Lesli Linka Glatter’s audio commentary for Twin Peaks episode 1.005, I knew it was time to take a deep dive the film location for The Log Lady’s cabin scene. Thanks to long-time fan Josh Eisenstadt who first located the home, I’m happy to share some of the only photos from this Southern California…
