They used some stock footage they shot during the pilot and I think they did come up to shoot a little bit extra, but not much in Snoqualmie/North Bend, at least, maybe they shot some of the Great Northern interiors at the other location which is west of Seattle. Those would be expensive to duplicate in a set. They did build a set for the R&R and some GN interiors like Coop's room. By the way, the original is not a hotel or lodge, it is a convention center (run by an Indian tribe, by the way). The exteriors are of an entirely different place, the Salish Lodge, which looks nothing like it on the inside. Supposedly the Palmer House (TP, not Chicago :-) ) in FWWM is not the Snoqualmie/North Bend area, though it is in the Seattle area. I can't say if it is the same house or not. I do know that they used a different high school, one in a town close by. The original was undergoing extensive renovation on the outside. They also used a set for the roadhouse instead of the bar in Seattle they used for the interiors in the series. The exteriors are a bar in a nearby town (I forget the name, it is east of Snoqualmie). -Rich Haller
