Hi all,

I would like some advice, please. I am thinking of taking a few days to go and stay on my own (possibly with a friend) at the Fall City hotel (the Roadhouse) and seeing the sites. I know the Falls are close by, but can anyone tell me what other points of interest are within taxi distance? I also might rent a car. I am coming from London so I need it to be worth my while. Is there an airport near, or bus services from an airport? I plan to research all this on my own. but it would be nice to have the opinion of some experts. I might possibly go to the Fest, but I doubt it. And I know that you all say it's not worth it but I really want to go to T-Mar....is that nearby? I would like to have my own little Peaks experience, be it alone or with a friend. Any advice you guys can give would be appreciated IMMENSLY! Thanks guys.

You could probably see most of the locations by taxi but I'd strongly advise you against it. It'd spoil the ambience. A couple of years ago I met my friend in Seattle and we spent a couple of days driving around Snoqualmie and Fall City. We used directions from this site, which were a huge help.  

Just click the series/fwwm tab at the top of the page and go to Visiting Twin Peaks.

We raided a small wooden tourist information hut in Snoqualmie for maps and leaflets.  

Thanks for the tips! But actually, now that some time has passed, I think I am going to be able to make it to the Fest. I am about 89% at this point! First time for me, so I need some tips. Perhaps I could take this to the Fest board, but I have looked through it and it's not really giving me the info I want. Basically, what I want to know is, where to Festers stay, year after year? I want to know where all you guys go year after year, and the reasons why. I am a bit of a germophobe, but I'm not looking for anything too fancy. I have all my transport covered, and i could really stay anywhere, but I want to stay where the action is (and obviously a clean place, reasonably priced).

I see that a lot of you stay at the Edgewick Inn. Is this the official Fest hotel? Where else is good and cheap-ish? Any help would be so appreciated! I'm a total newbie to the Fest and I am really excited...I just want everything to be perfect!  

 Thanks a million, folks.

Whoa!!! Taxis don't even go out there, unless you want to pay the driver as much as it would cost to rent a car.  Making a driver do the tour will cost you a small fortune, especially since the area is out of the way and they have no idea where they are outside of Seattle.

It's damn near impossible to hail a can from the area back to Sea-Tac, too.

 (nearly) all the sites are clustered in a close area- not walking distance, but short drives. Here is a film site map.

 EDIT: Yes!  Just come to the Fest!
