Curator’s statement

If you're a David Lynch fan like myself, you've probably watched Twin Peaks at least twice. What's better than rewatching Lynch's 90's cult classic a third time? Visiting the film locations where all the magic was created. Lucky for you, I've outlined all of the (Washington) hotspots where you can really get in the spirit of Twin Peaks and even "have a damn fine cup of coffee".

Day 1: Snoqualmie Falls

A view of a Snoqualmie Falls in the middle of a forest.

Less than an hour's drive from Downtown Seattle, you'll arrive in Snoqualmie, Washington, otherwise known as Twin Peaks Wonderland. The opening credits of Twin Peaks features the iconic falls that are turn out to be quite accessible. The 270-foot waterfall is one of Snoqualmie's most visited tourist attractions, so it often gets crowded very quickly. Try to get there early and get that iconic shot of the falls with the Great Northern Hotel in the background.

Day 2: The Salish Lodge and Spa (The Great Northern Hotel)

The Great Northern Lodge from Twin Peaks on a cloudy day.

Right behind the Snoqualmie Falls, you'll arrive at the real life luxury hotel, the Salish Lodge and Spa. In Twin Peaks, this was The Great Northern Hotel, where Special Agent Dale Cooper stayed - in room 315 to be exact. If you opt into the full Twin Peaks Tour experience, you can book a room here for about $330 (USD) a night, otherwise head into their gift shop for some Twin Peaks goodies.

Day 3: Twede's Cafe (The Double R Diner)

A close-up view of the Twede's Cafe sign, with a clear blue sky behind it.

Only a ten-minute drive from Snoqualmie Falls, you'll find Twede's Cafe, otherwise known as The Double R Diner in Twin Peaks, where you can get a damn fine cup of coffee and a slice of cherry pie. Inside, you'll find the same black and white checkered floors paired with retro red bar stools. Before you leave, make sure to make your way to the back of the building where you'll find a mural of the iconic Twin Peaks welcome sign (which is no longer there).

Day 4: Reinig Bridge (Ronette's Bridge)

A view of the steel, Reinig Bridge (also called Ronette's Bridge), in the middle of a forest on a cloudy day.

Although Reinig Bridge is now paved as a jogging and cycling trail, you can still visit the chilling location otherwise known as Ronette's Bridge. This iconic and eerie setting will immediately take you back to our missing girl, Ronette Pulaski, mysteriously walking across the railroad bridge outside of Twin Peaks.

Stop 5: The Roadhouse Inn and Restaurant (The Roadhouse)

A red, neon sign of The Bang Bang Bar in Twin Peaks.

Right next to Snoqualmie, you'll find Fall City. Here is where you can lodge and eat at the famous Roadhouse, the popular tavern in the southern part of Twin Peaks. The exterior Roadhouse shots were actually shot here, but the interior shots were not. Although there is no "The Bang Bang Bar" sign outside, the Roadhouse does feature a bright red neon sign out front as an ode to the series.
