Vacant Peaks returns with a visit to The Great Northern Hotel. This recurring series captures glimpses of buildings, sets, props or details without people in Twin Peaks. Similar to the articles about Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department in Twin Peaks, I am presenting The Great Northern Hotel in parts. This first story includes empty sets and details from the Pilot Episode…
The Fat Trout Trailer Park, home to Carl Rodd, Teresa Banks and Deputy Cliff, first appeared in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This location contains my favorite 2-minute scene in all of Twin Peaks. I first visited the trailer park in 1996 during and impromptu stop on the Twin Peaks Fan Fest bus tour. But where…
After publishing a recent Setting the Stage article about the Double R Diner exteriors, I began thinking about the first time I visited the location. I attended the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Fest held around the Seattle and Snoqualmie Valley. One of the first stops made was to enjoy a slice of cherry pie and…
In this Setting the Stage article, I’m taking a look at the exterior shots of the Double R Diner from Twin Peaks Seasons 1 and 2, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and Twin Peaks: The Return (Season 3) on Showtime.

This first story focuses on the Pilot…
The “Setting the Stage” series continues with a look at Josie Packard’s bedroom inside the Blue Pine Lodge. The scene with Josie quietly humming is one of the first scenes in the Pilot Episode of Twin Peaks. Her bedroom, however, was not often seen during seasons 1 and 2.
The Utility Pole first seen at the Fat Trout Trailer Park in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me has fascinated since I first watched the movie in October 1993. Perhaps that’s because it played a part in my favorite two-minute scene in Twin Peaks. Or it could be because I got to see the real utility pole…
My love letters to the Fat Trout Trailer Park continues with the start of a new series called “Vacant Peaks.” The now closed InTwinPeaks.com website inspired this series. There was an article on the now defunct site that showcased empty rooms in Twin Peaks. I love the scenes and moments without people. These fleeting images…
Following my love letter to my favorite scene in all of Twin Peaks, I was reminiscing about the time I visited the film location for the Fat Trout Trailer Park in Washington state. Thanks to an unscheduled stop during a bus tour at the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Fest, I have a few photos to…
