On Twin Peaks Day 2020, Rachel and Max, the new owners of Twede’s Cafe (aka the Double R Diner) in North Bend, Washington shared the news they were taking over the iconic restaurant from Kyle Twede. To commemorate the end of an era in Snoqualmie Valley, I’m comparing the cafe’s appearances in all three seasons…
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…
Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington holds a special place in my heart as it was the first Twin Peaks film location I visited in August 1996.

After Becky Burnett delivers bread to Toad at the Double R Diner in Twin Peaks – Part 5 on Showtime, she meets up with her husband Steven where they share a moment behind the restaurant. This scene was filmed along the side and rear parking lot at Twede’s Cafe in Washington state on September 15, 2015.
In Twin Peaks Part 11 on Showtime, Becky Burnett shoots Gersten Hayward’s apartment door in a fit of rage. This film location is found in Snoqualmie, Washington. It took me three visits to the Snoqualmie Valley region to go inside.
Greetings from 40,000-feet! I’m currently en route to Washington state for another Twin Peaks film location adventure. As I’m preparing for the next few days, I thought about some of the current “white whales” that I’m seeking in the Pacific Northwest.
To kick off a new decade, I’ve been discussing the film location for Glastonbury Grove in Twin Peaks. This is one of the few film locations used for every iteration of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show that is not a set.
