WELCOME TO CICELY, ALASKA

Sleep Across the Street from KBHR

THE FILMING LOCATIONS, MAPPED FROM OUR DOOR

Every Step of Cicely Within a Five-Minute Walk

Northern Exposure (1990–1995) filmed its exteriors right here on Pennsylvania Avenue — and the town’s historic register status means it still looks the part. Here’s your walking tour, measured from our front door.

KBHR Radio — Across the Street

The storefront where Chris Stevens spun records and philosophy on “Chris in the Morning” is directly across from the inn. Your window looks at it.

Camel Mural — 1 Minute

The Roslyn Cafe mural from the opening credits — an icon since 1896 and the most photographed wall in Cicely. Breakfast here is mandatory.

The Brick — 200 Yards

Holling and Shelly’s tavern is a real, working saloon — Washington’s oldest, pouring since 1889, running-water spittoon and all.

Ruth-Anne's & More — 2 Min

The general store, Dr. Joel Fleischman’s office, and the totem pole sites are all steps apart. Bring the camera; the town obliges.

A Stay Made for Northern Exposure Fans

The Spruce Moose Inn occupies the upstairs of Roslyn’s historic 1890s medical building — and yes, our most spacious room really was once a dentist’s office, which every fan of Dr. Fleischman finds exactly as funny as we do. We named the inn in the show’s honor, and thirty years after the finale we still host fans from around the world tracing Cicely on foot: rewatch pilgrims, first-time discoverers streaming it fresh, and longtime devotees who plan visits around Moosefest, Roslyn’s Northern Exposure fan gathering.

Ask us anything when you arrive — as longtime locals we can point you to every filming location, the best angles for the mural photo, which Brick booth to ask for, and the spots casual visitors walk right past. Roslyn also hosted the first episode of Amazon’s Man in the High Castle, if your fandom runs double. One tip from experience: give Cicely two nights. The locations take an afternoon; the feeling of living in the show takes a weekend — here’s how we’d spend it.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Northern Exposure Fan FAQs

Was Northern Exposure really filmed in Roslyn, Washington?
Yes — Roslyn stood in for the fictional Cicely, Alaska for the show’s entire 1990–1995 run. The exteriors along Pennsylvania Avenue, including the Roslyn Cafe mural, KBHR storefront, and The Brick, are all real places you can visit today.
Which filming locations can I see from The Spruce Moose Inn?
The KBHR radio storefront is directly across the street from us. The Roslyn Cafe camel mural, The Brick, Ruth-Anne’s general store, and the Dr. Fleischman office sites are all within a one-to-two minute walk.
What is Moosefest?
Moosefest is Roslyn’s fan gathering celebrating Northern Exposure, drawing devotees from around the world for location tours, screenings, and occasional cast appearances. Ask us about upcoming dates when you book — rooms fill early those weekends.
Can you still visit The Brick from the show?
Absolutely — The Brick is a fully operating saloon, Washington’s oldest, serving food and drinks daily just 200 yards from the inn. Sitting at the bar Holling tended is the single most requested moment of every fan’s trip.
How many days do I need to see the Northern Exposure sites?
You can walk every filming location in an afternoon, but fans consistently tell us two nights is right: a full day for locations and photos, plus unhurried time to simply exist in Cicely — coffee at the cafe, a pint at The Brick, and the town at golden hour.
