I swear I'm not a Twilight superfan, but you can't drive through Forks without wondering how this town survived B.T. (before Twilight). You'll understand when you see the pics.
The medical clinic had a parking spot for Dr. Cullen.It's hard to see, but this motel advertises "Twilight Rooms." I'm not sure what that means. Maybe there are cardboard cutouts of Bella and Eddie in the rooms. Or vampires attack you?
In case you are a vampire, the treaty is intact. Don't even think about sneaking across this line.
Shauna and I got in to Port Angeles and spent our drive in it wondering where the heck Bella was when she got chased by those guys. The town isn't cutsie by any means, but it lacked the scary warehouse feel. So we parked and walked down to the pier. Two teenage boys started following us (one with a hood pulled over his head). The pier is full of punk teens and then a lady begged money from us. So, I had to conclude that Bella's experience was realistic after all. To redeem itself, we did finally start talking to a guy who was catching shrimp to go salmon fishing (I so wanted to go). He was really nice and interesting. The next day we stopped in town again and everyone was very normal and friendly. Sunset must bring out the crazies in P.A.
ANOTHER Twilight store. They were EVERYWHERE.
FYI, you can do bus tours of Twilight country.
I gotta admit, I really liked the area and just might move there someday.

I LOVE that you were in Forks. I read a great article about the tourism boom in the town and how the local police chief lets the tourists call him Charlie, since they get a kick out of it. Supposedly many restaurants serve vegetarian "Bella" meals, too.
