I’ve recently been exploring the film locations in Washington and California that were used for The Bookhouse in Season 1 and 2 of Twin Peaks. For this third article, I take a deep dive into the set created in Van Nuys, California for Episodes 2.006, 2.017, and 2.018.
In Twin Peaks episode 1.003, Sheriff Truman and fellow Bookhouse Boys, Big Ed Hurley and Deputy Hawk, take Special Agent Dale Cooper inside The Bookhouse. He tells Cooper that it’s the place where they have gathered together for the past 20 years and that the coffee is free. But the location they visit is just one…
One of my favorite storylines and sets from Twin Peaks Season 2 – Windom Earle’s cabin – gets the Vacant Peaks treatment in this article. The cabin appears in Episodes 2014 through 2021. Here is a look at scenes from the cabin minus former Agent Earle, Leo Johnson, Major Briggs, and the Heavy Metal Youth. Apologies in…
Throughout Twin Peaks, Special Agent Dale Cooper shares his fascination about the country of Tibet. He shares the history of Tibet in Episode 1.002 while preparing to throw rocks at bottles.

“And, uh, what can we add to the menu? Some specials, maybe?” Upon hearing M.T. Wentz is coming to town in Twin Peaks episode 2.004, Hank Jennings asks Norma Jennings what items can they add to the menu as he plans to trick the Double R Diner out like “Christmas on the Fourth of July.”…
In Episode 1.002 of Twin Peaks, Audrey Horne tells Donna Hayward at the Double R Diner that “Agent Cooper loves coffee.” Fueled by multiple cups of coffee on National Coffee Day 2018, I spent all day examining just how much Cooper enjoys a cup o’ joe that is “black as midnight on a moonless night.”
Grab a booth and order a Cherry Coke as we return to an empty Double R Diner in Twin Peaks. This Vacant Peaks article highlights scenes without people from Seasons 1-3 as well as a brief moment in The Missing Pieces from Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me.
This Setting the Stage article about the Hayward House exteriors surprised me. For some reason, I thought I would find more exterior shots of the home in Twin Peaks. Unlike the Palmer House, only a handful of exterior shots were seen throughout Seasons 1 and 2, and Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me.
Similar to the Johnson House, the Hayward House had two film locations in Twin Peaks. The Pilot episode and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me used a home in Everett, Washington. The exterior of the home in Seasons 1 and 2 was shot in southern California with interiors captured on a set. But through the magic…
When Special Agent Dale Cooper seeks accommodations in Twin Peaks, Sheriff Harry S. Truman offers to get him a great rate at the clean and reasonably priced Great Northern Hotel. This Setting the Stage article takes a closer look at the exteriors scenes of this iconic hotel from Seasons 1-3 of Twin Peaks.
