The City of Forks

Welcomes You.

Forks is the setting for

the Twilight books.

It all started at Forks High School,
where Edward saved Bella's life.

Forks City Hall &

 Police Department

Bella's dad, Charlie Swan,

is the Police Chief of Forks.

Stephenie Meyer wrote Twilight without ever visiting Forks.  The Chamber of Commerce designated two houses with similar features as Bella and Edward's homes.

at 775 K Street.

 

654 East Division Street is designated

as Edward Cullen's house.

The owners of the Miller Tree Inn

the mailbox.

Edward's home

The owner, as "Esme," Edward's

vampire mom,  leaves messages

on a white board on the front

porch from the Cullen family.




Twilight fans who have seen the movies and haven't read the Twilight books are startled to find out that Bella and Edward's homes aren't the ones they saw in the movies.

Forks Community Hospital

Bella has several visits there

during the Twilight series.

Forks Outfitters is considered
to be Newton's Olympic
Outfitters, where Bella worked.

Thriftway is where

Bella did the family

grocery shopping.

The Twilight movies were filmed in the Portland, Oregon area and in California.  Getting the details correct was very important to producers of the Twilight films.  Still shots were taken of the Forks Town Hall, Community Hospital and the High School to provide details for filming locations.  The Forks Police Department worked with the film producers to provide accurate logos, uniforms and badges for the movies.
