Tuesday, February 21, 1989 is a special day in Twin Peaks history. It’s the first day of shooting for what would become the Pilot Episode of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s beloved series. Thanks to Brother Jer from Twin Peaks Archive, we have an idea of what scenes were shot on that first day in North…
The first character in Twin Peaks that speaks is Pete Martell (Jack Nance). After telling his wife Catherine that he’s going fishing, he exits the Blue Pine Lodge kitchen and walks along a path. The sound of a lonesome foghorn hangs in the air just before Pete spots something unusual. The rest is history. For this…
For the opening scene of Twin Peaks – Part 7 on Showtime, Jerry Horne is seen looking dazed and confused while sitting in the woods. This scene, like his appearance watching Dr. Amp in the woods from Part 5, was shot in Olallie State Park outside North Bend, Washington. It took five visits to Weeks Falls…

Greetings from 40,000-feet! I’m currently en route to Washington state for another Twin Peaks film location adventure. As I’m preparing for the next few days, I thought about some of the current “white whales” that I’m seeking in the Pacific Northwest.
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 second season episodes. Unless I invent a time machine, I’ll never be able to take the exact photo of the Hotel as something is…
In Twin Peaks Episode 1.002, there is a transitional shot of the top of a snow-covered Mount Si in North Bend, Washington. During my visit in October 2019, I took a similar shot of this gorgeous mountain overlooking the town. Here is a comparison on screen appearance from 1989 to today, with extra photos from the…
