Looks like the Fall City Inn is now open for business and they have a few rooms available on the second floor.

I wonder if they have the bar. A Pink Room would seal the deal. 

That's really cool. If I ever get to travel to the US I do plan to make such visitations.

Thank you.

Well, I made a reservation for tomorrow.  The woman at the desk was very nice. She said there are a few rooms with a shared shower (at the end of the hall), and few rooms with showers.  I'll leave me review when I get back

 EDIT: We're here. It's fantastic digs and food all in one! 5 stars so far!

Here you are, Angela and everyone: Well, we planned on getting there around 2 p.m., but got stuck at the Canada border for 3 hours (Thanksgiving traffic.) And they made it look so easy in Fire Walk With Me. Fall City Inn/Restaurant staff Leslie, Scott and Phil (the general manager, who also welcomed us personally) gave us courtesy calls throughout the day to make sure someone would be there to check us in.

I was informed that the Roadhouse and Fall City Inn are two businesses, but they work together. So, we rolled in around 7:30 p.m., road weary but energized coming in from the dark wet night into the warm ambience of the tastefully Christmas-lit restaurant.

For those of you who haven't stopped to the Roadhouse (formerly The Colonial Inn) after the renovation, the food is delicious! Mouth-watering, melty meats and seafoods, gourmet appetizers and a diverse wine and cocktail selection-- generous portions all at very reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and fast, and it works for both romantic and family dinners. This has easily become the best restaurant in the Twin Peaks universe. When you want something more substantial, interesting and classy than Hap's Diner (the Fall City Grill), which sits around the corner, but can't stomach the frou-frou, snotty and overpriced Salish Lodge dining room, the Roadhouse is there for you. Guests of the Inn get a voucher for a free appetizer.

Needless to say, we devoured dinner-- no room for dessert-- before heading up to our room.

Up a carpeted staircase between the dining rooms is a bright, freshly painted hallway hung with nature art. The wood doors smell brand new. This entrance is open til the Roadhouse closes. After hours, guests may use the staircase in the back (by the Bookhouse exterior from the pilot) to access the Fall City Inn rooms.

Some of the rooms use a shared shower at the end of the hall, but don't be scared. This place is immaculately clean. I had the sense we were the first guests. Our room ($125/night) had a bath tub and shower, a Queen bed with a heavy comforter and big squishy pillows, modernist light fixtures and geometric furniture. The room had other nice amenities, like a flatscreen TV, and a comfy loveseat with footrest in a sitting area.

Two windows overlooked the (admittedly shady) Tavern across the street, and the other overlooked the gas station and the red & white striped stand that has boasted Burgers-Fries-Shakes (and espresso) for as long as I can remember. I could hear cars and motorcycles passing through most of the night, but the bed was so nice I was fast asleep. The dog at the gas station, Shadow, is less annoying than a car alarm, and with the doors' electric locks and well-lit parking lot, I felt quite safe. Shadow greeted me when I was out at the car at about midnight.

Other nice touches: There was free WiFi and a coffee table book of historic photographs of Fall City. We also had some paintings of cartoon chickens in the room, which added even more character. The floors are partially carpeted, part synthetic wood real fir. The plumbing and thermostat/heater were all obviously brand new, and more efficient than any five star hotel I've visited. Unfortunately, we had to leave early. We weren't sure how to check out, so we left a note of thanks in the door.
Wish we could've stayed much longer!

It was a great central location to our night touring. If you want to see something eerie, visit Twin Peaks during the rainy season. Mt. Si is completely hidden in fog at night, but the sky glows dark violet. Ronnette's bridge looks huge and ghostly in the dark. The falls are enormous, and the swirling, heavy mist around the observation deck will soak your clothes through. The neon sign at the Mt Si Inn is in desperate need of fixing. And the Fat Trout is marked and chained off with a Do Not Enter sign that I don't remember before, but we respected that.

If you plan on visiting, The Inn does keep a 50% deposit if you cancel, which can be used for a later stay.
Since The Inn has an intimate, bed & breakfast way of doing things, and knowing Festers will be clamoring for these rooms in the summer, I hope everyone that stays there will leave the owners with a good impression of our odd little gathering. I'll definitely be back soon.

I don't know about the larger rooms, but this one was cozy for two. 

Thanks for the great review, Angel, your check's in the mail! But seriously, we're glad you enjoyed it. I'm one of the Owners of the building (including the Inn, but not the restaurant), a resident of Fall City and the guy who restored it from its almost-colapsing state. Man, if that building could talk! When we got it the upstairs was a flophouse with one bathroom at one end of the hall and a second (legal?) bar and cardroom at the other. The doors are new because the old ones all had multiple deadbolts cut into them to keep the residents from robbing each other. The floors are actually the original fir (not artificial wood; we must have done too good a job refinishing them!). If you pull back the rugs in some of the rooms you can still see the holes from the loggers' caulk (spiked) boots. I'd be happy to show and tell to any of you that come stay there. My wife runs the Inn; check it out at www.fallcityinn.com.

OK, this is tough for a Snoqualmie Valley resident to admit on this venue, but until last night I'd never seen ANY Twin Peaks episodes. I watched the pilot. Strange, but I gotta admit I have to go get the rest now. Crazy seeing my stomping grounds in all those wacky scenes! I'l never be able to drive by those old train cars again without the hairs on the back of my neck going up. Just last week a friend of mine who's a Snoqualmie Indian was telling me stories about run-ins with the law in those cars when he was a kid.

And what's with that strange little man at the end?

Welcome, Charlie! 

We're just glad someone has given the building the care it deserves. It is a unique bit of history. Great name, too ;) 

I just recommended Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and the pilot to Leslie. Establishing shots from the Pacific Northwest area pop up in the series, but the inferior LA decoys just don't cut it.  The trainyard is priceless! We're still trying to figure out where the real murder car is- a big Internet controversy.

p.s. I'll go back and edit that about the floors. 

If I recall the murder car in the pilot was alone. There is an old sorting engine that still works that they may have used to pull one of them up the track to a wooded spot for the shot. They actually still run an old engine and some of those (restored) cars in the summer for people who like trains; it would be cool to take that trip and see if you could recognize the spot!

Our local video store (small, but good) has the pilot and the movie, but not the series. He says he doesn't get much demand for older series, but I spun the local angle and he said he might try to pick it up...

Happy viewing  

There were so many rumors about the car.  That a Japanese fan imported it, that it was junked in town.

But it very may well have been under our noses all along...
