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.
I continue finding some awesome historical postcards of Snoqualmie Falls. A recent acquisition includes a familiar image taken by Charles R. Laidlaw. Fans of Mark Frost’s “The Secret History of Twin Peaks” will immediately recognize this image.
As I wrapped up my trip to the Real Twin Peaks 2024 event, I returned to Salish Lodge & Spa for another damn fine breakfast on February 26.

I spent five days visiting numerous film locations in both Snoqualmie Valley and on Bainbridge Island across Puget Sound from…
In my quest to cover nearly every Twin Peaks film location on TwinPeaksBlog.com, I uncovered something unique about the view of The Great Northern Hotel (aka The Salish Lodge) found in several Season Two episodes. Unless I invent a time machine, I’ll never be able to take the exact photo of the Hotel as something is…
The sounds and music of Twin Peaks were my gateway to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. One of the more unique souvenirs I picked up during my first visit to the town of North Bend in August 1996 was a cassette titled “Sounds of TWIN PEAKS.” In the early days of my…
“I’m back!” – Leland Palmer in Episode 2001 Just like Leland, I have returned from an incredible birthday trip to Washington State.
