Lately, I’ve been discussing the many scenes from Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime that were filmed in Olallie State Park. During my visit to North Bend, Washington in September 2019, I spent three days in the woods finding nearly every location I could. One of the last locations I discovered on that trip was…
One spot I was most anxious to see at Olallie State Park was Steven and Gersten’s tree from Twin Peaks – Part 15 on Showtime. While it’s a rather disturbing scene, Alicia Witt (playing Gersten Hayward) and Caleb Landry Jones (playing Steven Burnett) give stellar performances at the base of a giant spruce tree. There’s even…
We return to the woods today for a look at the film location where Cyril Pons (played by Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost) walks his dog. This scene, like many of the woods scenes in Season 3 on Showtime, was shot along Weeks Falls Trail in Olallie State Park outside of North Bend, Washington.

I returned from visiting two Twin Peaks film locations during my first day in Seattle when I heard the news – Robert Forster passed at the age of 78. I grew up with Forster, who stared in numerous films and, more recently, played Sheriff Frank Truman (Harry Truman’s older brother) in Twin Peaks: The Return on Showtime….
In Twin Peaks Part 14 on Showtime, the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department visits Bobby Briggs’ childhood play area, Jack Rabbit’s Palace, then heads due east about 253 yards. Upon arrival, they are greeted with a mysterious woman laying next to a strange portal. This film location, like many others from Part 14, is found in Olallie State…
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…
Grab some soil and put it in your pocket as we are headed 253 yards east of Jack Rabbit’s Palace in Twin Peaks – Part 14 on Showtime. This article examines several film locations from Olallie State Park where the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department makes their way through the woods. Thanks to the magic of editing,…
In Twin Peaks Part 14 on Showtime, we travel with Bobby Briggs and the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department to Jack Rabbit’s Palace.
