I was a big fan of Northern Exposure because it was so different from standard 90's tv shows, and could surprise me. We drove our converted shuttle bus "Serenity" to Seattle (from Kentucky) to visit my daughter there. Spent a week on the Olympic peninsula, then on our way back east stopped in Roslyn. The Brick wasn't open yet, but folks working in the kitchen with the back door open said, "Come on in if you want to take pictures". Small town hospitality, I love it! I had a big grin stuck on my face walking around taking pictures and remembering the laughter they had given me. Camped 3 more nights at a National Forrest campground 10 miles north of town. Fantastic trip.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. In 2022 I flew to Seattle on my way to Hawaii. I never had a clue I was so close. Maybe some day I'll get my chance to visit Roslyn.
I visited Roslyn for the first time a couple weeks ago. My grandma who lived not too far away in Ellensburg liked Northern Exposure and I only recently got into it. Sadly the reason why we were in the area is because she passed away. I was glad to be able to stop into the town during the stressful week it was. I enjoyed this video of yours, only just came across your channel. Keep up the good videos!
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Roslyn is a very interesting little town and I've always enjoyed stopping there to walk around and remember the tv show. It was a favorite of mine.
Thanks, I guess I'll have to check out those TV shows I haven't seen. I'd like to see if I recognize any of the scenery around Roslyn. Thanks for watching, Sandy.
I don't think Northern Exposure is available for streaming now. I bought the DVD set off EBay but it was for European use only. Who knew? DVDs are encoded that they can only be played on DVD players sold in specific regions. Back to EBay I found a DVD player that had the region encoder disabled. Now I binge watch Northern Exposure about once a year.
Wow, guess you learn something new every day. I loved that show since it was so familiar. The only show I've seen now is one about Washington State game wardens. We lived near Moses Lake for a few years and they often show that area. We camped there often. Thanks for watching the video.
I specifically bought a region free player for Northern Exposure as it's the only way you can find the show with all the original music which I knew was important for this show. So good job! I grew up in Wisconsin and loved watching this show as it always felt like I was visiting the town as it was as much as a character as everyone on the show.
A local video store in seattle called "Scarecrow Video" carried=carries the N.E. show box sets DVD. I bought mine there cus I live in The area. Happy watching and support your locally owned book/video stores. 👋
Thank you for the name information. I actually have a cousin named Roslyn and we come from German ancestry by way of our grandparents. Roslyn is one of our favorite places to visit as well.
How do you think I got him to drive me there? Lol. It's a place I've been wanting to return to, but we needed to wait for the weather in the pass to be right. Much nicer drive on a warm and sunny day. I love sharing it with everyone. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video. The area looks beautiful & I enjoyed learning about the history of the coal mining there. I was surprised to hear so many people from so many countries came to work there.
I guess that one of the places to visit is the cemetery. It's divided into 16 sections according to the country of origin. It was quite a melting pot for sure. Thanks for watching, Victoria.
Thank you for actually posting this, approx 12 month ago I was at the point where i was just about to retire from the Police here in the UK and fly out to Seattle with my family to go and visit Roslyn ( a life times ambition ), unfortunatey within weeks i suffered a stroke within days of flying out , so my like long ambition never happened, something i bitterly regret, since those days i have thought about the town many times..So seeing this great video has really cheered me up, many thanks
Thank you so much for commenting on this video. I am sad to hear of your health set back. I lost my loving husband several months ago and have been recovering from some subsequent surgery of mine since then. We used to do a lot of traveling around our state while he was still healthy enough to do it and this trip was one I asked him to make because I too loved that show. Actually it has been a lifelong ambition of mine to visit the UK. My family ancestry on both sides originated in that part of the world like so many other Americans. I have a subscription to both the British streaming options available to me here and this is my way of keeping in touch with my English, Scottish and Irish roots and I recently watched the coronation. So it may be that we have some things in common. I hope you are recoving well and I send my blessings to you and your family.
You missed the part of the mineral mining industry. The railroad wasn't built just for coal. It runs up; past Lake Cle Elum. The rail line was supposed to run to Fish lake and the mines around it. It failed with the market crash in 1889. There are many gold,copper and silver mines around the Fish lake basin.
That's good to know. We were there in the afternoon and in between meal times. Candy was all we bought, lol. It was fun visiting on a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon. I'd never been to the museum. Thanks for watching, Itchy.
Sorry, I don't have one. I have a Facebook page that I update from time to time, but medical issues with my husband have kept me busy lately so I'll have to wait for one of the grandkids to explain it to me, lol. Thanks for asking, you've given me the incentive to investigate it.
I live here..please tourist 1)do not leave your food scraps for wildlife,our local dogs find them first and chicken,pork bones are dangerous.2)don't leave your dog poo bags along trail,we don't have a poo bag picker upper to go 5 miles to grab them.if u don't pack them out then toss poo,no bag,off trail..it will dissolve by winter.3)quit driving down coal mine trail to find shady place to park,no motor vehicles period..4)when u stumble drunk out of bars late and are walking to your vacation rental,loud drunken laughter,conversation,yelling as u walk thru residential streets remember people are sleeping,show respect and last,roslyn is NOT Vegas,your arrogant and entitled attitude at locals is ridiculous.treat roslyn with respect,it deserves it
Thank you for these guidelines. Disrespect for nature and rights of others has always been a pet peave of mine wherever you go. I lived for while near a fast food place and was amazed at the amount of food containers that ended up in my front yard every day. In my case, I had to clean up after these thoughtless people and fought vermin that were attracted to the food scraps. Thankfully, I no longer live there, but I still feel for the folks who do. Roslyn is such a great place to visit and in such a beautiful area it's sad that you need to deal with these problems.
How cool would that be? The town has definitely grown since I first visited there 30 years ago. Northern Exposure was one of my favorite shows and it's fun to see all the landmarks that have remained. Thanks for coming by.
@@RVGrannyWA I watched the shoe 15 episodes per week. This woman wanted to know if I liked the show. She had the box set. I tried to but the box set but it was a scam. My credit card refunded my money. My favorite character was Chris. I moved the director. She told me Janine Turner had a complete baby room set up but no baby. Barren.
lot of our croatian workers work in coal mine come before 100 yrs this town so popular beacuse northern exsposure great show holling chris ed joel
With all those tourists, little is left of the show's secluded Cicely atmosphere.
Thanks granny I went camping there(Roslyn) in 2013 it was so beautiful
I love living here
Awesome! Thanks for the tour :-)
Crossed off my bucket list in 2019
I can happily call this place home and I am the 6th generation to be raised in Roslyn
is it peaceful there, crowded, any homeless, crime?

What wonderful memory. I loved Northern Exposure too. I loved all the characters that were so different than anybody I'd ever met.
I liked it when Chris waxed philosophical.
Washington is a wonderful place. Hopefully you got on a ferry and went out to one of the islands.
Awesome video Is any slovak families still there?
Nice and relaxed video. Thank you...
My favorite place to go I rode dirt bikes there as a çhild and seeing the stars in NORTHERN EXPOSURE. AWESOME. MEMERYS
I hated it when that show got canceled. It was a favorite of mine.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. In 2022 I flew to Seattle on my way to Hawaii. I never had a clue I was so close. Maybe some day I'll get my chance to visit Roslyn.
I loved Northern Exposure. Roslyn is such a cute place. Thanks for sharing.
I loved the show too, and Roslyn is a great place to visit. Thank you for watching.

It’s like I’m on a guided tour. Thank you for sharing your state with us~~~Sandy

Great document. Greatings from Poland :)
Thank you very much!
Enjoyed that little tour, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
I come to Roslyn every summer from Seattle. There is a beautiful river Cle Elum a few miles from Roslyn.
By the way, Roslyn is an old German girl's name, derivative from Rosalind, meaning "Pretty Rose"
Thank you for the name information. I actually have a cousin named Roslyn and we come from German ancestry by way of our grandparents. Roslyn is one of our favorite places to visit as well.
This town was/is amazing
It is a very fun place to visit and remember and to remember the " Northern Exposure" TV show. That show was a favorite of mine.
PNW Granny mine too! Hugs!!!!!
Enjoyed as usual. Love your history drives!
History is a passion of mine as you might be able to tell. I'm always wanting to know how places came into being. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful drive. Neat town with lots of history. First stop...candy store. 😊 Think of you often. 👍👍
How do you think I got him to drive me there? Lol. It's a place I've been wanting to return to, but we needed to wait for the weather in the pass to be right. Much nicer drive on a warm and sunny day. I love sharing it with everyone. Thanks for watching.

I'm about to move there!
did you end up moving there? is it peaceful? any homeless there?
I've eaten at the pizza place there, good stuff though it was only for dinner so I didn't see much since I was camping at the time in Easton.
That's good to know. We were there in the afternoon and in between meal times. Candy was all we bought, lol. It was fun visiting on a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon. I'd never been to the museum. Thanks for watching, Itchy.
and Talkeetna?

Nobody:
Tourists: ⬆️
Soon, Rosylin will have 5G, flying cars, maybe its own space company.
... and Hyperloop.

I dated a woman with emotional issues who was such a big fan she moved to Roslyn and got a job at the Brick. Why isn’t the shoe on tv on re- runs?
I can only guess that it is because of contractual issues. Personally I'd love to rewatch the show.
