Northern Exposure Junkie

My love affair with the television series Northern Exposure began during my early college years when I became enthralled with the tiny fictional town of Cicely, Alaska. After watching an episode on the Hallmark channel, I was hooked! Hooked on ... Dr. Joel, Maggie, Ed, Maurice, Holling, Shelly, Marilyn, and, of course, my favorite Chris.

Through the years, I've shared my love of Northern Exposure and turned quite a few people on to the show,too! One of those people being my handsome husband, David.

Living in such close proximity to the "real" town Roslyn where Northern Exposure was filmed is one of the reasons beautiful Washington state is such a great place to live. The last time we took the drive east to Roslyn, Sienna was just 6 weeks old.

The tiny town of Roslyn, population 900. The town was named after Roslyn, New York.
Roslyn was originally a mining town after coal was found in 1886. The last coal mines closed their doors in 1963.

On the show, Maurice Minnifield explains that a hippie passing through painted this mural.

Now that the fall weather is upon us again, I think it's time for us to schedule a weekly date with Northern Exposure and go for a drive to see the leaves changing in Roslyn.

Maybe next summer we'll make it to Moosefest ...
