North Bend & Twin Peaks

David Lynch filmed Twin Peaks here in 1989 and the town has quietly leaned into it ever since.

1h 15m on the ground 40 min each way from downtown

Twede's Cafe on North Bend Way is the Double R Diner and still sells the cherry pie. The Salish Lodge above Snoqualmie Falls is the Great Northern Hotel from the title sequence. Mount Si — 4,167 feet — stands over the valley in nearly every exterior shot.

It is five minutes past Snoqualmie Falls, so the two are one trip, not two.

What our drivers would tell you

  • Do the falls first and the town second — the light is better on the water early.
  • The train museum in Snoqualmie town has real rolling stock outside, free to walk past.
