Twin Peaks, a fictional Washington town
Only two seasons of Twin Peaks' original run, from 1990 to 1991, were produced; however, a third season was produced in 2017. In addition, it inspired a major motion picture, countless books, and a devoted following. The fictional town of Twin Peaks is described in the show's pilot episode as being five miles south of the Canadian border and twelve miles west of the state line, placing it in the northeastern portion of Washington's Salmo-Priest Wilderness. Numerous places were chosen for filming, and ever since, they have capitalized on their association with the program. Three towns now claim to be the "genuine" Twin Peaks.
A "Welcome to Twin Peaks" road sign was extensively featured in the program's opening titles. 2017 saw the installation of a similar sign with the same inscription in Snoqualmie, Washington. Fans from all over the world go to Snoqualmie every year, according to the city's official website, eager to view the locations where the show was filmed. Not to be outdone, North Bend, Washington, likewise asserts its identity as the "genuine" Twin Peaks, even going so far as to declare an official yearly "Twin Peaks" holiday.
The Fall City Roadhouse in Fall City, Washington, is cited as the place where the young people of the made-up town liked to hang out in Twin Peaks. Devoted fans may easily tour all of the other locations utilized to film the show in and around Seattle. In reality, it has developed into a significant tourist destination for the area, with tour guides appearing in publications as far away as Great Britain.
