The Journal of Secrets

Washington State is not what it seems. Beneath the rain-soaked forests, within the fog-shrouded inlets, and across the volcanic peaks lies a web of mysteries that most people never see.

Captain Ron Rougeaux — real estate broker by day, supernatural investigator by calling — has spent years documenting the unexplained phenomena of the Pacific Northwest. From Bigfoot sightings in Capitol Forest to UFOs over Mount Rainier, from ghost ships on Puget Sound to the bottomless pit of Ellensburg.

From vampire towns to Twin Peaks — discover the most mysterious places to live in the Pacific Northwest

Olympic Peninsula

Forks

Where Vampires Walk Among the Living

This tiny timber town on the Olympic Peninsula became world-famous as the setting of the Twilight saga. But Forks was strange long before Stephenie Meyer discovered it. With over 200 inches of rain per year, it's one of the wettest places in the contiguous US — wrapped in perpetual mist, surrounded by ancient rainforest, and home to legends that predate any vampire novel.

Upper Kittitas County

Roslyn

Northern Exposure's Frozen Time Capsule

Roslyn doubled as Cicely, Alaska in the hit TV show Northern Exposure. But this former coal mining town near Suncadia has its own ghosts — literally. With 24 separate cemeteries for a town of 900 people, Roslyn has more dead residents per capita than almost anywhere in America.

Snoqualmie Valley

North Bend / Snoqualmie

Welcome to Twin Peaks

David Lynch chose North Bend and Snoqualmie as the filming location for Twin Peaks — and the town embraces its dark legacy. The iconic Snoqualmie Falls, Twede's Café (the Double R Diner), and the surrounding dark forests all appeared in the show. But Lynch didn't have to create the eeriness. He just filmed what was already there.
