This unscripted scene has Norma Jennings (Peggy Lipton) and Big Ed Hurley (Everett McGill) sharing a tender moment in Ed’s truck near the woods. There was a…
One of my favorite postcards in my collection features an aerial view of the town of North Bend, Washington with Mount Si looming in the distance and the words “Twin Peaks” printed along the bottom front. I love this card as it was something I purchased at the Alpine Blossom and Gift Shoppe during my…
During the Summer of 1990, television viewers and reporters descended on Snoqualmie Valley, Washington in search of damn fine coffee, cherry pie and the locations where Mark Frost and David Lynch filmed their groundbreaking series Twin Peaks.

This year’s Twin Peaks Day festivities in the Real Twin Peaks of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington concluded with a live performance by the Pacific Northwest’s “magickal music duo” Wisteria Lodge at Twede’s Cafe.
