where was twin peaks filmed

The TV series Twin Peaks was primarily filmed in the state of Washington, especially in the towns of Snoqualmie, North Bend, and Fall City, which are about 30 miles east of Seattle. These towns served as the main external filming locations for many of the show's scenes, including iconic ones like the Sheriff's Department, Double R Diner, The Great Northern Hotel, and Twin Peaks High School. The beautiful Snoqualmie Falls, featured prominently in the opening credits, is located near Snoqualmie and the Salish Lodge, which was used as The Great Northern Hotel on the show. Besides Washington, many interior scenes for seasons 1 and 2 were actually shot on sets in a warehouse in the San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles, California. Some exterior wooded scenes were also filmed in Malibu, California. The pilot episode and the 2017 season returned to filming on location in Washington state. Other specific filming locations include Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington, which served as The Great Northern Lodge interiors and the beach where Laura Palmer's body was found. The DirtFish Rally School building in Snoqualmie served as the Twin Peaks Sheriff's Department. The Reinig Bridge and Meadowbrook Bridge in Snoqualmie were also filming sites. In summary, the main filming locations for Twin Peaks were Snoqualmie, North Bend, and Fall City in Washington, with some interior and wooded scenes filmed in California.
