I recently shared the Twin Peaks location where Johnny Horne is seen shooting buffalo cutouts with his toy bow and arrow set in the James Foley-directed episode 2.018 (#25). This footage was recycled from a deleted scene from episode 1.001 (#1) between Dr. Lawrence Jacoby and Special Agent Cooper. Here is a closer look at…
During a recent visit to Southern California, I crossed off another Twin Peaks location from my list thanks to an anonymous tip from a fellow Bookhouse Boy. A few months ago, I wrote about the scene with Donna Hayward visiting her mom at The Great Northern Hotel in the James Foley-directed episode 2.018 (#25). I mentioned…
During my visit to Snoqualmie Falls, Washington in August 2025, I stopped by the Snoqualmie Falls Gift Shop and Visitors Center where I discovered the best affordable souvenir from this breathtakingly beautiful place.
In Twin Peaks episode 2.018 (episode 25 from the second season), there is a brief scene of Donna Hayward following her mother Eileen Hayward as she visits The Great Northern Hotel.

I recently shared details about the Thunderbird totem pole by master carver Don Wells Keys that’s found at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington. This private event and wedding venue served as the filming location for The Great Northern Hotel interiors in the Twin Peaks pilot. A hand-carved bear by Keys makes a cameo twice in…
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.
Between the expert sleuthing of my Twin Peaks Blog comrade Steven Miller and the detectives before us on sites like InTwinPeaks.com, there are very few filming locations from this body of work that remain uncharted. Some things, though, are simply out of reach to curious fans. But as the Log Lady says, “the stars turn…
For the Real Twin Peaks 2023 event, there was only one place I wanted to stay – the magnificent Salish Lodge & Spa in Snoqualmie, Washington. My wife Katie and I last stayed at the Lodge in October 2019 for our first wedding anniversary. We couldn’t wait to get back, and we were delighted to…
