To kick off Twin Peaks month in February 2021, I’m exploring the location of the Palmer house in Monroe, Washington. The home’s exterior was seen in the first two seasons of the show, and looks completely different than the interior and exterior of the Palmer house in Everett, Washington. Thanks to some encouragement from fellow…
During my quest to identify all the props used in Twin Peaks, I love discovering items that appear in both the television series and the 1992 feature film. For this article, I highlight Italian floral-themed wall art at the Palmer House. Don’t blink as you might miss these items found at the bottom of the staircase.
The exploration of the home used as the Palmer House in Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me continues with a look at the kitchen. It’s fitting we begin our look inside here since it’s the first room seen early on in the Pilot Episode.
The Palmer House is one of the most iconic locations in Twin Peaks. Much like the “two Chalfonts” at the Fat Trout Trailer Park, two houses were used – an exterior of one in Monroe, Washington and the interior and exterior of another in Everett, Washington. This article is the first a series examining the important spot…
After a 25 year hiatus, we return to the Palmer House in Twin Peaks – Season 3 on Showtime. The crew returned to the original home used both in the Pilot Episode and David Lynch’s 1992 film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The establishing shots of the Palmer house in Seasons 1 and 2 were of…

Twin Peaks Day 2020 commemorates the day Laura Palmer’s body was found on a rocky beach by Blue Pine Lodge in 1989. It’s also a good day to revisit the episode that started it all – the Twin Peaks Pilot which aired on April 8, 1990. For this Then & Now article, I return to Laura’s house…
On February 23, 1989, Laura Palmer left her home to attend school one last time. That night, she would be brutally murdered and a community would never be the same. I’ve raved plenty of times about my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This short scene has always stuck in my…
One thing I remember from my original viewing of Twin Peaks in the early 1990s was the unexpected long shots of things like trees, traffic lights, and the ceiling fan at the Palmer house. Prior to Twin Peaks, I hadn’t seen these kinds of shots in a television show. These lingering images added a sense of…

Similar to Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, the crew used the house in Everett, Washington for filming. This article shows empty scenes from the home as seen in Parts 2, 11, 13,…
