One of my favorite Real Twin Peaks film locations in Washington state is Jack Rabbit’s Palace from Part 14 in season three. Located in Olallie State Park outside of North Bend, Washington, I’ve been visiting this spot since September 2019. With each visit, I’ve noticed the old decaying tree stump is slowly fading away. One day,…
This virtual visit to the Real Twin Peaks of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington includes a postcard of Snoqualmie Falls. The image is from a time before the construction of Snoqualmie Falls Lodge, which opened in 1919 and is known today as Salish Lodge and Spa. The image also captures a phenomena seen in Twin Peaks
In Twin Peaks – Part 11, Red interrupts a Briggs’ family dinner at the Double R Diner. The two love birds share a kiss before Shelly returns to the conversation beaming.

I keep returning to the Fat Trout Trailer Park as seen in David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The film’s first 35 minutes has mesmerized me for decades now. While I have previously discussed the entire Fat Trout Trailer Park location, this time I’m diving deeper into individual shots from this location….
For several years now, I have loved playing the game of finding and identifying Twin Peaks locations. Between the thrill of the hunt to researching a location’s history, there is no greater joy than finding a photo that confirms my suspicions about a location.

Late one night nearly five years ago, I was huddled in front of my laptop screen debating about pushing a button labeled “Publish.” Pressing it meant the start of a new chapter in my wonderful and strange journey through David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks.
