the only one I can think of right now is Frasier because Seattle was really fashionable in the 90's mostly due to grunge and some electronic businesses

[(Anonymous)]

The ones that I can think of are Twin Peaks, Millennium, and Northern Exposure (depending on how you define Pacific Northwest).

Honestly, though, there were a fair amount after the 90s with Dark Angel, John Doe, The 4400, Dead Like Me, Grey's Anatomy, Eureka, Kyle XY, iCarly, The Killing, Portlandia, Cedar Cove, Bates Motel, Leverage (for some of it), Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Grimm, Twin Peaks (again), iZombie.

Highlander!

[(Anonymous)]

The Sentinel was also PNW!

(I've got an actor friend in Portland who did one ep of Grimm and one of Leverage! He's not a makes-a-living-acting actor, by any means, but it's always exciting just to get to point at the screen and say you know a *person* instead of just a place)

And Bridgetown, of course-- that's a recent Portland show!

Twin Peaks was set there, Millenium was set there for two seasons, X-Files was set there and sometimes had cases there, but sometimes it was meant to be other parts of the US. In second season it was cheaper to paint a whole canyon red to stand in for Arizona than to actually go there or greenscreen it!

ayrt

Twin Peaks was set in Twin Peaks, Washington with exteriors filmed in Snoqualmie, North Bend and Fall City, Washington and the rest in California. And Millennium was set in Seattle and filmed in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

But X-Files was filmed in Vancouver (later LA), but it was set in Washington, DC or wherever the Monster of the Week or aliens were.

A lot of shows were filmed in Vancouver, but set somewhere not in the Pacific Northwest (21 Jump Street, Arrow, The Flash, The Good Doctor, Once Upon a Time, Psych, Riverdale, Smallville, Stargate SG-1, Supergirl, Supernatural, etc.), so I wouldn't count any of them.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, didn't think anyone would ever mention Kyle XY again.

[(Anonymous)]

I remember just about every other show in the 90s being filmed in British Columbia, but the only one I remember actually being set in the PNW was Highlander: The Series.

Well, and technically SG-1, but the majority of the outdoor shots weren't even supposed to be on Earth, so possibly that one only gets an honorable mention.

[(Anonymous)]

The Sentinel was set in the PNW, too!

At least SG1 had a sense of humor about it. O'Neill remarked at least once about how funny it was that a LOT of alien planets looked just like the PNW.

DA

[(Anonymous)]

I like when shows acknowledge shit like that in a sly humorous kind of way.

[(Anonymous)]

Sliders did, too! It was set in San Francisco, but clearly filmed in BC. Whenever the main characters would get called out by people in an Alternate San Francisco for not knowing about the zombie plague or alien takeover or whatever that universe's "thing" was, their excuse was always that they were visiting from Vancouver.

[greghousesgf]

one reason of many I love Mrs. Doubtfire. That's obviously SF, not some other city posing as it.

[(Anonymous)]

I remember there was a show that was supposed to be set in Maine and they just kept filming the northwest coast like "ocean and pine trees!" was all they needed and meant nobody would notice. And tbf maybe some people don't see a difference, but as someone who grew up in New England I could not help but laugh at how much that did not resemble the Maine coast at all.

[(Anonymous)]

Was that Once Upon a Time? They did eventually explicitly set a couple of seasons in Seattle.

[(Anonymous)]

My personal favorite was in The Flash TV series, when they were supposed to have gone to Africa to find Gross.

Gracepoint is BC masquerading as northern California. (And it's not good for other reasons, too; please just watch Broadchurch instead.)
