David Lynch, the visionary filmmaker behind the cult classic 'Twin Peaks,' has passed away at the age of 78. Lynch's decision to set his show in North Bend, Washington, transformed the once struggling town into a major tourist destination. Local residents and businesses credit Lynch with revitalizing the community and leaving an indelible mark on its identity.
He may not have been the Mayor, but David Lynch may have left an imprint on North Bend more than anyone in recent memory.
The filmmaker chose the Snoqualmie Valley to play a starring role in the cult classic back in 1990, including the café known in the show as the "Double R Diner." Across the street, Lynch’s name was on the marquee of the North Bend Theater to announce his death. Lynch’s family said he had passed away Thursday at the age of 78.
