NORTH BEND, Wash. — "'Twin Peaks' has been a part of Snoqualmie Valley history since it was filmed here in the late 1980's," said Cristy Lake, from Snoqualmie Valley Museum. "It drew a huge international fan base from all over the world, including Japan and Europe. And really made North Bend internationally known."
Now to mark the show's 35th anniversary and this weekend's celebration, the Snoqualmie Valley Museum has pulled together an exhibit remembering one of television's most twisted shows.
"This exhibition was challenging because we didn't actually have a lot of artifacts in our permanent collection, but we reached out to the fan community, and they really stepped up and helped create this exhibit for us," Lake said.
Agent Cooper sat in this very chair in the red room during the "Twin Peaks" series. Bobby Briggs spent a night behind the very bars in the exhibit.
There's plenty to see including some esoteric fan art.
"That is the replica of the log lady's cabin and it has the log lady sitting in her cabin but the log lady's this cute little mouse," Lake said.
Director David Lynch would almost certainly approve.
The "Twin Peaks" exhibit opens Friday, Feb. 23, the same day the Real Twin Peaks Days begins. There will be screenings all weekend, bus tours, train rides and Agent Dale Cooper himself, Kyle MacLachlin, will be in town. The museum plans to run the exhibit through the summer.
