The Real Twin Peaks High School

The High School which was used for the series is located in Snoqualmie, WA. Sometime in the few years following the shoot for the pilot, the high school underwent a large-scale renovation which rendered its interior virtually unrecognizable. The loss of the red, zig-zag stripes in the hallways was one of the most obvious and upsetting deletions. While I've only looked in through the windows of the school, I've been told by a friend who did go inside, that he truly could find no distinguishable trace of the high school from Twin Peaks. Dratted renovations! As with all the original Washington locations from the pilot, reproduction sets were later built on a sound stage in L.A. and used for the remainder of the series.
The high school they used for Fire Walk With Me, however, is still very much the same. Here are some current photos of the interior and exterior of that school, including the trophy case where Laura's portrait was placed for the movie.
A special thanks to my friend, Travis, for taking me to the FWWM high school.
