The Real Twin Peaks board gathered with city officials and dozens of fans Monday to celebrate Twin Peaks Day at the “Welcome to Twin Peaks” sign.

Snoqualmie Mayor Katherine Ross officially proclaimed Twin Peaks Day at 11:30 a.m. Feb. 24, the exact day and time that FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) enters the town in the 1990 pilot episode of “Twin Peaks.”

“I, Katherine Ross, mayor the city of Snoqualmie, hereby proclaim Feb. 24, 2025, to be Twin Peaks Day in the city of Snoqualmie, and invite people everywhere to celebrate by giving yourself a present of donuts, cherry pie and fine coffee,” Ross said.

North Bend Mayor Mary Miller also spoke and remembered “Twin Peaks” co-creator David Lynch, who died last month.

“We’ve lost David Lynch, which was traumatic for all of us, but he’s in our hearts, and ‘Twin Peaks’ will live on forever,” she said. “I’m guaranteeing it.”

Real Twin Peaks weekend, typically the weekend closest to Feb. 24, spanned Feb. 21-24 this year, with several events and specials throughout the Snoqualmie Valley. The celebration is well-attended by “Twin Peaks” fans each year, and Monday’s event saw visitors from across the country, as well as from Ukraine, Belgium, Scotland and more.

Longtime “Twin Peaks” fan Mary Daniel came up from Alabama with her husband and 4-year-old daughter, Laura, who is named after the character Laura Palmer in the show.

“I’m a musician, so I’m creative, myself, and ‘Twin Peaks,’ the weirdness of it, and David Lynch, his creation, just inspired me,” Daniel said. “I liked it when I was really young, and I was kind of different for it, but I stayed different for it.”
