The Real Blue Pine Lodge


The lovely Kiana Lodge, built in the 1930's, doubled for both The Great Northern Hotel's interiors and The Blue Pine Lodge, a.k.a. Pete, Catherine, and Josie's house.
The lodge's kitchen, in reality a full service restaurant-style kitchen, sets the perfect nestled, warm tone in the opening scene of Twin Peaks in which Pete announces to Catherine that he's "goin' fishin". The interesting thing here is that the kitchen door at the Kiana Lodge leads straight out to where they shot the Great Northern conference room scenes.

Here's another view of the room from the other side of the butcher block counter, never seen in the show.

UPDATE: In January of 2007, this kitchen was renovated. It is no longer arranged like it was in the show. Luckily, they re-used a lot of the same components (i.e., the butcher-block counter) but moved them around in such a way that it's not easily recognizable. The photos of the kitchen, above, were taken in October of '06. I thank my lucky stars that I was able to capture the original setup before it was changed! Below, a still from the series shot on a set which was built to resemble the kitchen from the Kiana Lodge.

Laura's log is located just outside the lodge on the rocky banks of Puget Sound.
