Twin Peaks

I LOOOOOOOVED Twin Peaks. I recorded the last few episodes knowing that they were ending. Everytime I get into a series they yank it off the air. I hope this doesn't happen to LOST.

Yes,I really liked it. It got a bit too weird for me later on in the series, but it was still enjoyable. The DVD set of the second season just came out last week here in the U.S., it wasn't available before then.

I love Twin Peaks. It's one of my all time favorite TV shows. We were in Seattle a few months back, and took the opportunity to go visit some of the filming sites used in Twin Peaks. Here's my travel log of our search. We took a day and drove out of Seattle on I-90 East thru the scenic mountains in search of Twin Peaks filming sites. Taking the Preston exit, we proceeded to Fall City. There at the intersection with 202 was The Colonial Inn (used as The Roadhouse). The Colonial was out of business, but looked as it did in the show. We also saw the small outbuilding behind the Colonial (The Bookhouse). We then turned right on 202 South East and proceeded to Snoqualmie Falls. At the base of the falls is the Salish Lodge. It appears on your right as you enter Snoqualmie City Limits. The Salish was used as the exterior for the Great Northern in Twin Peaks. Snoqualmie Falls itself was also featured prominently in the show. You should definitely get out and check out this magnificent waterfalls. It's the second most visited site in Washington!We then continued east on 202, then made a quick left onto Mill Pond Rd. This took us to 3 important Twin Peaks sites. The (Ronnette Polaski) Railroad Trestle, Weyerhauser Mill (Packard Sawmill), and the Weyerhauser Mill Administration Building (Twin Peaks Sheriff's Office). You'll have no trouble finding the trustle as long as you keep turning left. Just past the trustle, turn left onto Renig Rd. Take the next left after that and you'll find the Administration Building. From the parking lot, there's a good view of the Mill. It's all quite desolate and quiet. We didn't manage to get inside the Administration Building as there was no one there. But you can peer thru the windows where you'll see Lucy's office and the hallways. These look virtually unchanged from the TV show! Head back the way you came, or in the direction toward 202 and you'll arrive in Snoqualmie. In town you'll see the Railroad Depot and Northwest Railway Museum. All pretty cool just to browse thru. Across the road is The Gazebo (used in Twin Peaks). We then proceeded to the last Twin Peaks site. From Snoqualmie, take 202 East/South (North Bend Rd) to the town of North Bend. A little driving around took us past the Mt. Si Motel where some filming took place. We then finally arrived at the corner of North Bend Way & North Bend Blvd. where we found Twede's (formerly the Mar-T Cafe, the Double R Diner exterior used in Twin Peaks). They offer Twin Peaks Cherry Pie and a damn fine cup of coffee! We went inside and had coffee (which is just OK). That's it for the Twin Peaks part of our driving tour.
