The Salish Lodge at Snoqualmie Falls has been a popular spot for tourists and residents of Washington state for decades. So it’s no surprise that many postcards were created highlighting this destination. Here is another one with a photograph by Ben Harrison.
The Bookhouse Boys are one of my favorite things from the first two seasons of Twin Peaks. This secret society formed in the small Pacific Northwest town had been fighting the evil in the woods for decades. While the group was absent in both David Lynch’s 1992 feature film and third season – “The Return,”…
One of the side benefits of Twin Peaks: The Return airing on Showtime was the creation of plenty new themed-merchandise. In addition to postcards, I have a soft spot for greeting cards as there is something therapeutic about sending handwritten letters to loved ones. In November 2017, San Rafael, California-based Insight Editions licensed a set of…
I’ve been collecting Twin Peaks items for years now. One of the more unique trading cards in my collection is from an Italian card set released in 1993. The 210 card collection is part of I Bellissimi Superstar set which includes images of actors, musicians, models and celebrities. Interestingly, James Marshall who played James Hurley in…
My decades-long fascination with David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange Twin Peaks extends beyond the small town.

In the early 1990s, Craig Tuttle’s photography of the Pacific Northwest was everywhere. From greeting cards to books to calendars, he captured the beauty of many places throughout Washington and Oregon. It’s no surprise that he photographed Snoqualmie Falls and the Salish Lodge & Spa as the falls was and continues to be one of…
My collection of Snoqualmie Falls and Salish Lodge & Spa postcards continues growing. This pair of postcards contains photographs by Ben Harrison complete with awesome 1990s graphic designs bathed in purple.
The last day of the Real Twin Peaks 2024 event on February 25 started with a book signing with author Courtenay Stallings at the North Bend Trading Company in downtown North Bend, Washington. Courtenay read several passages from her 2020 book “Laura’s Ghost: Women Speak about Twin Peaks” before meeting with fellow Twin Peaks fans who…
Every day I was in Snoqualmie Valley, Washington, I dropped by Twede’s Cafe in North Bend to give myself a present – a slice of cherry pie and cup of coffee. Since I don’t live in Washington state, I long that delicious treat when I return home to Florida. With March 14 being Pi Day…
