For this article, I’ve made arrangements for you to meet me at the private Portland Airport in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This scene takes place early in David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece and introduces both Special Agents Chet Desmond and Sam Stanley and the mysterious Blue Rose. In reality, this location was shot at…
In Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me, Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole makes arrangements to meet Special Agent Chet Desmond at a private airport in Portland, Oregon. There is a seven-second transition shot from the cockpit of the plane approaching the small airport. This may be one of the more extreme examples of how obsessed…
Five locations served as the setting for Twin Peaks High School. The second of these locations is found in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The Pilot used Mount Si High School in Snoqualmie as the backdrop. For the film, the crew traveled to Snohomish High School in Snohomish, Washington. Both high schools have one…
Twin Peaks High School in Twin Peaks used five different film locations. Today, I’m focusing on the first of these locations which served as the exterior establishing shot location in Season 1 and 2. The interiors of this location were used in the Pilot Episode and made a brief appearance in Season 3 on Showtime.
The brief exchange in the Pilot episode between Agent Cooper and Sheriff Truman about traffic lights in Twin Peaks was the perfect summation of what viewers could expect from the sleepy little town with a population of 51,201. To paraphrase Sheriff Truman in Episode 1.003, Twin Peaks is “different” and a “long way from the…
The former Brook Theater in Snoqualmie, Washington served as the film location for Mo’s Motor in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This now demolished film location holds a special place in my heart thanks to the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Festival and Craig Miller and John Thorne’s excellent Twin Peaks magazine, “Wrapped in Plastic.”
In a previous article, I discussed the location of Leland and Laura Palmer’s scene in front of Mo’s Motor from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The service center is located next to an intersection that serves as the backdrop to two important scenes from David Lynch’s feature film motion picture and Twin Peaks Part 6….
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Mo’s Motor is a service station that Leland and Laura Palmer visit after being accosted “out of the blue” by Mike, the One Armed Man. The former building was located in Snoqualmie, Washington and made a brief appearance in Twin Peaks season two.
During the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Fest, I visited the site of Weyerhaeuser’s former Snoqualmie Mill. For some reason, this is the only photograph I took of the mill that once served as the exterior location for the Packard Sawmill in Twin Peaks.
“Blow the whistle, Josie. It’s quittin’ time.” What does the Packard Sawmill look like without people? As a follow up to a Setting the Stage article, I’ve compiled images from the Mill for a new Vacant Peaks story. The images are taken from the Pilot Episode, Episode 1007, Episode 2001, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and The…
