On February 24, 2023 at 11:30 a.m., Twin Peaks fans gathered from around the world at the Welcome to Twin Peaks sign spot location to hear a reading of an official Twin Peaks Day proclamation. It was a moment in time that I never thought I’d see nearly 30 years ago when I first fell in…
For the Real Twin Peaks 2023 event, there was only one place I wanted to stay – the magnificent Salish Lodge & Spa in Snoqualmie, Washington. My wife Katie and I last stayed at the Lodge in October 2019 for our first wedding anniversary. We couldn’t wait to get back, and we were delighted to…
