Washington in the Movies

I came across an interesting article by Craig Hill of the Tacoma News Tribune.

He talks about some of the movies in which Washington's outdoor scenes have been featured.

Here's a clip:

When it comes to the movies, Washington doesn’t have to worry about being typecast. The Evergreen State played India for exactly six seconds of “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” It played Pennsylvania in “The Deer Hunter” and England in “Lassie Come Home.” It’s even played itself.

Read the rest of the article here.

There were some movies on there that I had no idea had been shot in Washington

  1. The shot "The Postman" in Northeastern Washington which cracks me up because I can see their train of thought

    "We need to do a movie about the end of the world, what would be the perfect place?"
