As the celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Twin Peaks continues, I return to one of the first film locations I visited in August 1996 – Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington. This location served as The Great Northern Hotel interior for the Pilot episode. I’m focusing on the Concierge Desk, which first appears in the…
It’s no surprise that I adore David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. The Pilot episode aired as an ABC Sunday Night Movie on April 8, 1990. For this year’s milestone 30th Anniversary, I’m sharing 30 things I love about this perfect Pilot episode. It’s by far one of the best television pilots ever to…

Similar to the articles about Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department in Twin Peaks, I am presenting The Great Northern Hotel in parts. This first story includes empty sets and details from the Pilot Episode…
The “Setting the Stage” series continues with a look at Josie Packard’s bedroom inside the Blue Pine Lodge. The scene with Josie quietly humming is one of the first scenes in the Pilot Episode of Twin Peaks. Her bedroom, however, was not often seen during seasons 1 and 2.
