Overview
If you're visiting North Bend, chances are you may be a fan of the classic TV series Twin Peaks, which was filmed in this compact city. While Twin Peaks tourism is a big deal here to this day, there's plenty more to see and do, even if you aren't a fan of the program. Highlights include the historical McGrath Hotel, dating back to 1922 and the slightly newer North Bend Theater, which operates as a movie theater to this day. North Bend also puts you within easy reach of outdoor recreation in the surrounding Snoqualmie Valley and is just a 20-minute drive from the slopes at Snoqualmie Pass.
