They set the eerie murder mystery in lumber territory outside of Seattle for the quirky charm of small towns such as Snoqualmie, North Bend and Fall City, for the region’s brooding beauty, for its slight air of menace. Lynch and Mark Frost created the surreal TV series, and Twin Peaks 2.0 will hit screens on Sunday.
