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,…
For the second season of Twin Peaks, ABC Television commissioned additional publicity photos such as these images of Joan Chen and Michael Ontkean.
