Mary Reber, who has owned the Everett, Washington house for three years, is actually welcoming to tourists and, of course, the David Lynch series. “When he initially asked me if I wanted to do that small part, he didn’t tell me who it was,” she says. “I had no idea what it would entail or any backstory whatsoever. So it was a surprise to me, too. You’re given your script shortly before you start filming, and that’s the first time I knew that I was going to be Alice Tremond.”
