This article is another one of those journeys as I take a closer look at the Dale Cooper’s nightstands in Room 315 at The Great Northern Hotel. The nightstand appears in Seasons 1 and 2 and return…
David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks debuted on April 8, 1990 on the ABC Television Network. As part of the show’s publicity, the alphabet network placed a full-page ad in newspapers like The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times on that Sunday.
Seattle-based Lowman and Hanford produced a number of postcards of scenes from Washington state including the majestic and sacred Snoqualmie Falls in Snoqualmie, Washington. This postcard encouraged folks to “See Washington First” more than 100 years ago.
In the second season of Twin Peaks, the set of the Blue Pine Lodge sees a bit more action than before with several interlocking stories playing out on the premises. The props on this set also get more use, and we get a look at the household’s regular tableware in episodes 2.012 and 2.016.

The greatest joy in my quest to document and archive all things Twin Peaks is finding something I’ve never seen.

The great Harry Dean Stanton would have celebrated his 100th birthday on July 14, 2026. Since I first saw him in Ridley Scott’s Alien, I’ve loved him in every film he’s ever done.

Audiences had never seen anything like Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks when the series first aired in April 1990 on the ABC Television Network.
