Wrapping up Olallie State Park with Naido's spot (with a cameo from my wife), Steven and Gersten's tree (since felled by a storm), the spot where TPSD starts towards Jack Rabbit's Palace, the former Convenience Store location and an epilogue at Weeks Falls (with more cameos).
#TwinPeaksLocations
The Weeks Falls Interpretive Trail at Olallie State Park is home to many Twin Peaks locations. This set includes the trailhead (from The Missing Pieces), Cooper's tree (from Part 17) and the path to Jack Rabbit's Palace (from Part 14), with more to come next time.
#TwinPeaksLocations
#TwinPeaksLocations continues...
This is the first of three highlighting Olallie State Park, which was used prominently for FWWM and The Return.
This one features Deer Meadow Mountain, the Deer Meadow Sheriff's Department and the river where the body of Teresa Banks was found.

#TwinPeaksLocations
Last of these for a bit, but here's a smattering from Fall City, WA:
* The iconic Roadhouse
* The Book House (which has seen better days)
* Hap's Diner (since demolished)
* The church from The Missing Pieces
* The airport from FWWM
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
The Salish Lodge exteriors look almost exactly as they did 35 years ago. Inside, it has a beautiful dining room with fantastic views of the Falls. Lil Cooper was excited to visit Room 315 but don't tell him that was all just soundstages in the original series!

#TwinPeaksLocations
Snoqualmie Falls is just as awesome as you'd think, even if you get there after it's been raining all morning (like we did) and the air is filled with mist. Can only imagine what this is like on a clear day.
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
Snoqualmie Point Park offers spectacular views of the nearby mountains. You can see why Laura and Donna chose it for their picnic spot. James seemed to think it was a good spot for brooding, too.
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
Downtown Snoqualmie is another area packed with #TwinPeaks locations:
* Giant log from Pilot opening credits
* Gazebo from Pilot deleted scene
* "House" (actually a train museum) on file from Cooper's real estate search
* Elks Point #9 Bar from The Return

#TwinPeaksLocations
Look in any direction from the cursed intersection and you'll see more #TwinPeaks locations:
* Gersten's apartment building
* Original TP High School location
* Original Fat Trout Trailer Park location
* Truman/Cooper's stakeout spot
* Bridge into TP (The Return, Part 18)
#TwinPeaksLocations
There's an intersection in #TwinPeaks where nothing good ever happens. It's where the One-Armed Man accosted Leland and Laura in FWWM and where one of the most gut-wrenching moments of The Return occurred, which is the focus of these photos.
#TwinPeaksLocations
The DirtFish folks were unbelievably nice to us. They invited us to look around, sit at Lucy's desk and hang around as much as we liked. A true trip highlight!
If you visit, be sure to pick some of their merchandise to show how much their hospitality is appreciated!
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
This one features what's left of the old Packard Mill and the Twin Peaks Sheriff's Department (now a rally car racing school). Plus, the return of Lil Cooper!

Leaving North Bend heading towards the city of Snoqualmie, a short stretch of SE Reinig Road leads you from the Welcome sign area to Ronette's bridge (with its TP graffiti) and the intersection of Sparkwood and 21.
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
A few more locations from North Bend:
* the entrance to the new Fat Trout Trailer Park,
* the bridge near the spot where Miriam is discovered by the baseball throwing boys,
* shots from Nadine's walk with her Golden Shovel to finally free Ed to be with Norma.

Mt. Si Motel in North Bend served as both the Red Diamond City Motel in FWWM and the Dutchman's in The Return.
FYI: You can rent room 6 through AirBNB for $157 a night (link in next post). Host is listed as "Leo," but probably not *that* Leo, right???
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
One of our most memorable "minor" location visits was to Carl Rodd's bench at E.J. Roberts Park in North Bend. Just sitting where Harry Dean sat, looking up at those trees and around the park makes for a beautiful little experience. Savor it, if you get the chance.

Twede's Cafe, Part 2
Stepping inside Twede's is surreal in the best possible way. The decor, vibes, coffee and pie are just as #TwinPeaks as you could've possibly hoped for.
Good news, fellow vegans - they've got us covered on the cherry pie, which was *amazing*.

#TwinPeaksLocations
Twede's Cafe, Part 1
Driving into the Snoqualmie Valley, we headed straight to Twede's Cafe in North Bend. Lingering outside a bit, we took in the views not only of the mythical Double R, but also majestic Mt. Si and other nearby locations seen in the Pilot and FWWM.
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
Seattle, Tukwila & Preston, WA
In this installment, a few locations you might see on the road from Seattle to the Snoqualmie Valley.

* Calhoun Memorial Hospital (Tukwila)
* The 1st Big Ed's Gas Farm/Hurley house (Preston)
#TwinPeaks
Reposting my #TwinPeaksLocations series so far in a single thread. Seven short videos providing a tour of Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, WA, which served as the Great Northern interiors and Blue Pine Lodge interiors/exteriors in the Pilot.
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
Kiana Lodge, Part 7
Wrapping up the visit with shots from around the grounds. Plus, another appearance by Lil' Cooper!
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
Kiana Lodge, Part 6
This one's all exteriors of Kiana Lodge, including the view of Blue Pine Lodge across the duck pond from the very first shot of the Pilot.
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
Kiana Lodge, Part 5
Visiting Laura's Log outside Kiana Lodge was a surprisingly powerful experience, hence an entire video devoted just to it. Features a rare cameo from me at the end.
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
Kiana Lodge, Part 4
Final shots from inside Kiana Lodge, which served as interiors for both Blue Pine Lodge and the Great Northern Hotel in the Pilot episode.
Also introduces a new character to our saga, Lil' Cooper, who will appear again in later installments!
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
Kiana Lodge, Part 3
Moving further into the Lodge, you find more Great Northern interiors from the Pilot.
#TwinPeaks
#TwinPeaksLocations
Kiana Lodge, Part 2
Once you step inside Kiana Lodge, you're inside the Great Northern from the Pilot. The main room doesn't really need comparison shots but I enjoy making them so I put them in anyway. Helps me solidify that I was actually there in the world of #TwinPeaks.
#TwinPeaksLocations
Kiana Lodge, Part 1
Realized I can convey more of the experience of visiting these locations via short video slideshows. Bluesky only allows a minute or less, but that seems a good pace for daily posting.
Hope you enjoy this expanded version of the approach to Kiana Lodge!

Hopefully, these teaser pics give a sense of arriving at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, WA, which served as the Great Northern interiors and Blue Pine Lodge interiors/exteriors in the Pilot.
Next time, we'll go inside...
