The Kiana Lodge, (the Martell residence, interiors of the Great Northern, location where Laura's body was found) is located on Bainbridge Island in a town called Poulsbo, and can be reached at 206-282-4633. It is just off highway 305, at the extreme southern end of the North Kitsap Peninsula. Take 305 to Sandy Hook Rd, and take Sandy Hook Rd (south, the only way it goes) until it almost ends at the bay. Look for a very small (about 10" x 12") sign sitting on the ground, on your left as you approach the bay.

Snoqualmie/North Bend

The Salish Lodge, used for exterior shots of the Great Northern, is in Snoqualmie. We took small back roads, and ended up coming in on 203. The Salish appears on your right almost as soon as you enter the Snoqualmie city limits coming this way from Seattle. If you use US 90 (the quicker, major freeway), you can get off at the Preston exit (#22) and take the Preston-Fall City Rd toward Fall City, turn right on 203 at the entrance to Fall City, and you're on your way to the Salish. This takes you past the Windstreamers kite store, better known to us as Big Ed's Gas Farm, and the Colonial Inn, better known as The Roadhouse (exterior?). Big Ed's is on Preston-Fall City Rd, and will be on the right using this approach, and will be quite obvious. The Colonial is just before the junction with 203, on the right. Facing the Colonial from Preston-Fall City Rd, there is a small field on the left... go there and look back at the Colonial... this is the only face they used for The Roadhouse.

Go take a look at the falls. There's a small gazebo (not *the* gazebo, *yet*) overlook, and farther away from the hotel (but all still just a short walk), a fenced, asphalt overlook. From the latter, you can probably coax a shot much like the opening pan-up-river-and-falls from your camcorder:-) There's a gift and coffee shop near this viewpoint, and they do have slightly different wares than the gift shop located inside the Lodge. Also be sure to grab a picture of the front of the Lodge, including their sign, so you can compare to the sign for The Great Northern that they use on the show. This is also clearly where Audrey gets into the limo to head to school in the show premiere.

If you make a right onto 203 out of the hotel, and a quick left onto Mill Pond Rd, you can head towards the railroad trestle where Ronnette Polaski is discovered, the Packard Sawmill (Weyerhauser Mill), and the Sheriff's office (the administration building for the Weyerhauser Mill). As you're driving on Mill Pond Rd, look to your left across the pond for a preview of the Mill. And ignore the old railroad tracks that you drive over near here. Continue on and you'll actually drive under the railroad overpass that is the Polaski trestle. You can park and walk up to the tracks.

Continuing on past the trestle, you make a veer or turn left on Renig Rd, and another left on Falls Station Rd, I think. Follow signs to the Weyerhauser administration office. Along this route there's an entrance on the left with a guard shack that you can just ignore (ignore the entrance, that is). The route to the administration office is marked and easily accessible (not guarded). From the parking lot of the admin. office, there's a good view of the Mill, and the admin. office itself *is* the Twin Peaks Sheriff's Station. Go around to the long side of the building, and there will be the familiar double doors, with the stone plaque out front. Just inside the doors you'll see Lucy's office and everything!

You can get back to the Salish by retracing your steps, or you can go through the town of Snoqualmie by coming back Falls Station Rd, turning right on Renig (if you instead turn left on Renig, you will head out to the stretch of road used in the opening scene of TP, with the "Welcome to Twin Peaks" sign in the foreground and the mountain, Mt. Si in real life, in the background), following it past Mill Pond Rd until it becomes Meadowbrook Av SE. Meadowbrook will take you back to 203, now called North Bend Blvd (or Sunset Highway). Turning right on North Bend Blvd will head you back towards the Salish. On this route you will find the Railroad Depot (a very quaint, attractive building oddly *not* used in the show), *the* gazebo (right in the middle of town, next to the train station), the giant log (seen in the opening title sequence of the premiere), and a railroad "museum" (these are *not* the cars used in the show, however, and I found no museum as such, just these interesting, old train cars and engines parked along the road).

Parking as close to the railroad cars as you can, you can walk past them, continue across a wooden ridge/footpath, and follow the tracks as they disappear into the woods. A short distance farther you willfind another abandoned train car on the left; this still isn't the one! You will pass other old engines on the left, and then, perhaps a quarter mile in along these tracks, you will see a group of cars and engines, with the two on the right, kind of elevated, and with a lot of foliage now grown up between you and them, that are obviously the cars used in TP.

There's an ancient, crumbling wood outhouse with a crescent moon cut into it right next to them, and I'll be darned if I didn't spot the roof of it in one of the shots from TP once I knew what I was looking at.

You could actually park in a little off-street area right where the tracks enter the woods, but as the area is marked "No Trespassing", you may not want to call that much attention to yourself. Also, taking one of the Greek alphabet streets (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, or Epsilon [really!]) off of 203 (which may be called Sunset Highway in town) will lead you back to the high school, which was used in the show. There is also a small cafe in Snoqualmie called "Big Ed's", which has a Twin Peaks Burger, but is otherwise unremarkable, and was not in the show.

Though only peripherally related to the show, there's a historic, functioning train ride available on Saturdays (and Sundays during the summers), which departs from and returns to the Depot in Snoqualmie. I wish I'd been able to ride it. Maybe next time:-) Okay, if you've still got energy for sightseeing, turn around, and go back along 203 (or Sunset Highway or North Bend Blvd) away from the Salish. Continue on past Meadowbrook, and maybe a mile or two down the road there will be either a forced or a very obvious right turn onto Taylor Av. Go just about 3 blocks, and you will be at "the light", in the town of North Bend. This is the only traffic signal in the area, and so is referred to as "the light", and is, of course, the traffic light from TP. As you were approaching the light, you will have passed the Alpine Blossom & Gift Shoppe, a great place for TP souvenirs. Right there on the corner at the light, will be Twede's Cafe, known to us, of course, as the Double R Diner. The coffee's pretty decent, the cherry pie's ok. The cardboard hamburgers and fries are actually pretty good if you like that sort of thing (I do). The light is at the corner of Taylor Av and North Bend Way. If you continue on Taylor past the light, you will come to a Visitor Information Center (hut on the side of the road). They didn't actually have much info on TP when I went there, though they did direct me to Avery's Artworx, back on North Bend Way (to the South East, away from Snoqualmie), on the North-East side of the street, where Avery sells a T-Shirt and a placard with a TP-related design of his own. And, as has been mentioned before, the Alpine Blossom & Gift Shoppe is the best place to go for the widest range of TP-related goodies. If you take Taylor on past the Visitor Info Center, you'll hit US 90 (Taylor is exit #31). You can take this back towards Snoqualmie to exit #27, curve under the freeway, and take Winery Road, to... you guessed it... the Snoqualmie Winery. This is the site where Laura & Donna & James videotaped their picnic. The winery has a surprisingly beautiful view of the area, and is well worth stopping by.

The interiors of the Roadhouse were filmed in Seattle at the Timberline Tavern.
