For several years now, I have loved playing the game of finding and identifying Twin Peaks locations. Between the thrill of the hunt to researching a location’s history, there is no greater joy than finding a photo that confirms my suspicions about a location.

I loved seeing the legendary Don Murray play Bushnell Mullins, Dougie Jones’ boss at Lucky 7 Insurance, in Season 3 of Twin Peaks.

In a recent article discussing Special Agent Dale Cooper’s nightstand in Room 315 at the Great Northern Hotel, I spotted a Native American figurine. This statue only appears in Episode 2005 and is never seen again. Following a quick internet search, I identified and purchased one for my ever-growing Twin Peaks replica prop collection. Here’s…
In Season 3 of Twin Peaks on Showtime, we return to the Fat Trout Trailer Park. This was one of my favorite locations from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and was featured in the first article from the “Vacant Peaks” series in April 2018.
