"It's been 20 years since Twilight first graced bookstores across the country-17 since the first film-but the vampire series's fame has yet to wane, and many curl up with the story annually in the fall and winter months. Famously set in Forks, Washington, a small town in the Olympic Peninsula with an average rainfall of 10-12 feet a year, the beauty of the Pacific Northwest is well depicted in the pages and on screen."
"While most of the films were actually shot in Oregon-including fictional locations like the Cullen House, the Port Angeles shops, La Push, and Bella Swan's house (which you can book a stay at)-there are plenty of places in Washington State that will give you a taste of Twilight. And as a travel editor that's also been a fan of the series for two decades, I've put together a list of activities,"
"Most of the Twilight attractions in Forks (excluding the Treaty Line sign) are a few miles apart, taking no more than 10 minutes to drive between. The best place to start is at the "Welcome to Forks" sign, seen at the beginning of the first film when Bella arrives in town. It's on Highway 101 and is a great spot to snap a quick picture for Instagram-don't forget your camera to take advantage of all the photo shoot opportunities."
Twilight remains a perennial favorite two decades after publication and nearly two decades after the first film. The novels are set in Forks, Washington, noted for heavy rainfall and Pacific Northwest scenery. Most films were filmed in Oregon, but many Washington locations evoke the series. Fans can visit displays of costumes, trails that inspired opening credits, and various photo-op sites and accommodations linked to the books and films. Forks attractions are close together and easily driven between, with the "Welcome to Forks" sign on Highway 101 serving as a popular photography spot.
