June 2nd - 4th Ted, Peter and Jim ventured on a trip to Moses Lake, Washington then westwards to Roslyn. This town is known for depicting Cicely, the city filmed in the TV series Northern Exposure.
Although the town of Cicely is widely thought to be patterned after the real town of Talkeetna, Alaska,[12][13] the main street of Cicely and the filming location was that of Roslyn, Washington, located in the Cascade Mountains. "Northern Exposure II" (the main production facility) was located in Redmond, Washington, in what is now the headquarters of Genie Industries, behind a business
park.
According to The Northern Exposure Book, the moose in the opening titles was named Mort and was provided by Washington State University, where he was part of a captive herd. To film the opening sequence, the crew fenced off Roslyn, set him loose, and lured him around with food.[14]
