In Poulsbo, Washington.  Their chamber of commerce will send you some nice
info and maps on the area, though they don't mention the Kiana Lodge.  But
when you talk to them in person, they do know about it, and it's TP
connection.  I think the area code is 206 (but you probably ought to check
with your long distance operator); you can use directory assistance to
get the number for both the chamber of commerce and the Kiana Lodge.

Despite its name, the Kiana Lodge does not have sleeping rooms for rent.
The Kiana Lodge is strictly a sort of meeting place, with banquet
facilities and such.  It is a neat place to visit.  You will definitely
recognize the interiors, with the Indian animal/spirit drawings on the
natural wood what you see in the Great Northern.  Lovely place.  They
have a small gift shop with nice mugs and T-shirts, too (though none of
them mention Twin Peaks).  On the day I visited, they had several hundred
people, many in native costumes, doing dances to ethnic music.  At first
we thought they might be Norwegian, and were considerably "Peaked"; we
later found out that they were Estonians, but it was a hoot anyway.

Poulsbo, by the way, is about 2 hours away from Snoqualmie/North Bend.
It is on the other side of Seattle.  And, be warned, though the shortest
land route connecting Poulsbo and Snoqualmie goes quite a ways out of
the way, you may want to consider it, as the ferry backs up rather
drastically, and took us over an hour of waiting before we even began
the ferry ride.  Perhaps there is some way to enquire about the wait
at the ferry by phone.

Hope this helps.  I could probably find the maps and stuff, and pin
down the location a little better for you, but if you're headed that
way, you'll probably want maps of your own.
