Just returned from Snoqualmie/North Bend and ...

The movie starts filming September 3 in Snoqualmie/North Bend, Washington.
It is a prequel and takes place seven days before the murder of Laura Palmer.

This information from the owner of the Alpine Blossom & Gift Shoppe in North
Bend, WA. As mentioned before, this shop is the best place in the area for
Twin Peaks merchandise.

Thanks to Larry Yaeger for his excellent trip guide. A couple of comments:

    1. The cherry pie at the Mar-T cafe is indeed OK. However, the *blackberry*
       pie is fantastic.

    2. The Ronette Pulaski railroad bridge is marked incorrectly on the fancy
       $8 dollar map. The location marked on the $.75 cent hand-drawn map is
       the correct location.

The tourist train ride in Snoqualmie is not that worthwhile. This summer the
train does not actually go all the way to North Bend like is usually does. It
goes perhaps one mile in the North Bend direction. Then it goes the other way
to Snoqualmie Falls which is less than a mile from the train station. You can't
actually see the falls from the train but you do get a good view of the Salish
Lodge and the canyon below the falls. The whole trip only took 35 minutes.
