I love finding alternate publicity photos from the Twin Peaks pilot. These images give a first look at what would become a groundbreaking event in April 1990. This time, I’m looking at a photo of Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn) taken during filming at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington in March 1989.
In the Twin Peaks pilot, there is a brief scene between Sylvia Horne, her daughter Audrey and Johnny’s nurse. The dining room is different than the one seen in episode 1.002 when Jerry Horne returns from Paris. The dining room from the pilot was captured while the crew was on location at Kiana Lodge in Washington…
I recently shared details about the Thunderbird totem pole by master carver Don Wells Keys that’s found at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington. This private event and wedding venue served as the filming location for The Great Northern Hotel interiors in the Twin Peaks pilot. A hand-carved bear by Keys makes a cameo twice in…
In the Twin Peaks pilot, there are a handful of interior scenes that take place at The Great Northern Hotel. Those scenes were filmed at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington which also doubled as the Packard family residence known as the Blue Pine Lodge. One of those scenes was Ben Horne (Richard Beymer) speaking with…
Early in the Twin Peaks pilot, we see an emotionally powerful scene as Sheriff Harry S. Truman informs Leland Palmer of his daughter Laura Palmer’s death. The scene takes place in the lobby of The Great Northern Hotel. In reality, the scene was shot at Kiana Lodge located on Bainbridge Island in Washington state.
Once the three screenings of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me with Sheryl Lee at the North Bend Theatre ended, I skipped over to Bainbridge Island to visit Kiana Lodge. You may recall this historic spot on Bainbridge Island served as a film location during the Pilot episode. When I visited in February…
Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington served as the exterior location for the Martell family’s Blue Pine Lodge in the first two seasons of Twin Peaks. While researching the Thunderbird totem pole that briefly appears in the series, I discovered the artist behind the tall “story pole” used as an establishing shot in episode 2.014 from…
One thing I love about identifying props and details in Twin Peaks is that some of these things are still found at film locations today. For this article, I’m taking a look at a background prop from the Blue Pine Lodge – a Thunderbird totem pole at home to the Martell family and Josie Packard. This…
With February 24 just a few short days away, I returned to Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington to visit the Twin Peaks film location of the log where Laura Palmer’s body was first spotted by Pete Martell. Upon arriving at the Lodge on February 22, 2023, I was greeted with a rather surprising sight –…
The first character seen on screen in Twin Peaks is Josie Packard, who is sitting at her vanity applying makeup on the morning Laura Palmer’s body was discovered by Pete Martell. The scene is supposed to take place in her bedroom at the Blue Pine Lodge, home of the Martell’s and the widow Mrs. Packard. Thanks to the…
