A movie about a sasquatch that moves in with a family in the suburbs doesn't seem likely to get too concerned about authenticity, but "Harry and the Hendersons" was actually filmed at various locations around Washington state, where it was set.

The woods where they discover (and eventually banish, in a surprisingly heartbreaking scene) the real-life Bigfoot, which they of course name Harry, are actual Washington woods. Most of the forest scenes were reportedly shot in the wilderness near North Bend, Wash., the same forests where the cult-classic TV series "Twin Peaks" was shot.

Other nature scenes were shot in the North Cascades National Park, the Wenatchee National Forest and Snoqualmie Pass, while the Hendersons' home was an actual house in a suburb of Seattle (though the Seattle video store Scarecrow Video, in a post on its website, points out that the family's zip code, shown in a brief shot, points to the wrong suburb).

This is where the authenticity starts to fall apart, though. For example, the fictitious North American Museum of Anthropology where Don Ameche's character, Dr. Wallace Wrightwood, works, was a set built along Interstate 2 near Index, Wash. (though it still stands today, with a plaque on the door commemorating the film).
