When Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks first aired on April 8, 1990, newspapers and magazines had wall-to-wall coverage of the show that was unlike anything ever seen on network television. Two days after the pilot was shown, the American celebrity tabloid magazine, Star, published a two-page spread about the real Twin Peaks of North…
The majestic Snoqualmie Falls in Snoqualmie, Washington has been photographed for decades. While the 268-foot waterfall attracts millions of visitors every year, it’s part of sacred ancestral lands of the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe—(sdukʷalbixʷ) the People of the Moon. The falls hold profound spiritual significance as it is central to the Tribe’s creation story. I can never tire…
I love continuing to spotlight Washington state photographers who made a living capturing the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. One such photographer is award winning Michael W.

It’s time for another beautiful postcard featuring Snoqualmie Falls and Snoqualmie Falls Lodge in Snoqualmie, Washington. Smith-Western Co., Inc. produced this card containing an aerial photo of the magnificent 268-foot waterfall and surrounding area. I love seeing these images as I get to play the game, “When was this photograph taken.?”
During the Summer of 1990, television viewers and reporters descended on Snoqualmie Valley, Washington in search of damn fine coffee, cherry pie and the locations where Mark Frost and David Lynch filmed their groundbreaking series Twin Peaks. St. Louis-born Eric Mink from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch was one of those reporters who penned this trip report…
One thing I love about writing for Twin Peaks Blog is I’m constantly learning new things. Take this postcard of the majestic and sacred Snoqualmie Falls in Snoqualmie, Washington. It’s one of many I purchased via online auction sites. I didn’t know, however, that it was manufactured by one of the first companies in the…
With only days away from the premiere of Twin Peaks on the ABC Television Network on April 8, “Soundlife” in The Morning News Tribune ran a cover story about David Lynch and Mark Frost’s new show on March 28, 1990.
