I didn’t set out to write this article today. I was researching the prospective properties that Irene Littlehorse, a realtor from Native Way Realty, showed Deputy Dale Cooper in Episode 2.012. After a coin toss that landed on a folder about Dead Dog Farm, an intrigued Cooper asks to see the cursed property. Like Coop,…
In Twin Peaks episode 1.004, Special Agent Dale Cooper, Sheriff Harry S. Truman, and Deputies Hawk and Andy Brennan visit Lydecker Veterinary Clinic. While at the office, Cooper and team confiscate all of the animal files based on his hunch that the bird who attacked Laura Palmer was a patient at the clinic. In reality, the…
August 11, 2007 was an exciting day in my personal experience with Twin Peaks as it was the first time I ever visited a film location in California. Eleven years earlier, I had visited film locations in Washington state during the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Festival. My first spot was Malibou Lake Mountain Club in Agoura Hills,…
In the opening credits for the pilot and episode 2.001, there is a brief image of a giant log. These are the only times this log appears in Twin Peaks, yet this Centennial Log has an incredibly long history in Snoqualmie Valley in Washington State.
In episode 2.010, Nadine Butler Hurley tries out for cheerleading at the Twin Peaks High School field. This spot is the fifth location used for Twin Peaks High School scenes.

The interiors of this location were used in the Pilot Episode and made a brief appearance in Season 3 on Showtime.
The former Brook Theater in Snoqualmie, Washington served as the film location for Mo’s Motor in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This now demolished film location holds a special place in my heart thanks to the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Festival and Craig Miller and John Thorne’s excellent Twin Peaks magazine, “Wrapped in Plastic.”
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, there are two scenes that take place at the FBI field office located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Monochromatic flashbacks from this location also appear in Parts 14 and 15 of Twin Peaks: The Return on Showtime. In reality, these scenes were captured at a now demolished building in downtown Seattle,…
