One of my favorite locations in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is the FFat Trout Trailer Park in Deer Meadow. When I learned a New Fat Trout would be in Season 3 on Twin Peaks on Showtime, I was beyond excited to see what mysteries would be revealed. Granted, I don’t know why Carl…
In Twin Peaks Part 14 on Showtime, the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department sets out to find Jack Rabbit’s Palace. They arrive at the trail entrance, grab their gear, and set off into the woods. In reality, this scene was shot at Olallie State Park located just outside of North Bend, Washington.
Vacant Peaks takes a journey to Jack Rabbit’s Palace from Twin Peaks: The Return on Showtime. With a named bestowed by Bobby Briggs, the location is seen twice in the series – Parts 14 and 16. The real location is found in Olallie State Park located just outside North Bend, Washington. Like other Vacant Peaks…
One of the fondest memories I have from the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Festival was meeting Don Davis who played Major Garland Briggs in the first three seasons of Twin Peaks and briefly in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
The brief exchange in the Pilot episode between Agent Cooper and Sheriff Truman about traffic lights in Twin Peaks was the perfect summation of what viewers could expect from the sleepy little town with a population of 51,201.

Big Ed’s Gas Farm in Twin Peaks was a service station run by Big Ed Hurley. I’m taking a closer look at the exteriors of this location as seen in Seasons 1-3 of Twin Peaks. Interestingly, the location “moved” three times during the run of the show.
After publishing a recent Setting the Stage article about the Double R Diner exteriors, I began thinking about the first time I visited the location. I attended the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Fest held around the Seattle and Snoqualmie Valley. One of the first stops made was to enjoy a slice of cherry pie and…
In this Setting the Stage article, I’m taking a look at the exterior shots of the Double R Diner from Twin Peaks Seasons 1 and 2, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and Twin Peaks: The Return (Season 3) on Showtime. The Double R Diner was a key location used throughout the series, so this article is rather lengthy….
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Mrs. Tremond and her grandson meet Laura Palmer outside the Double R Diner while she is preparing a Meals on Wheels run. This is one of those scenes I can’t get enough of in David Lynch’s masterpiece – it’s spooky and surreal. Naturally, I was delighted to visit…
