GUIDE TO VISITING FORKS, WA FOR “TWILIGHT” FANS
If you've ever dreamed of walking through the rainy streets of Forks, standing at the Treaty Line, or eating mushroom ravioli where Bella and Edward had their first date, this is your moment. Whether you're planning the perfect Twilight-inspired girls’ trip or checking off a lifelong fandom bucket list, this guide has everything you need to create your own Twilight road trip through Washington (with a few bonus stops in Oregon too).
Below are all the must-see stops, from book-inspired landmarks to real movie filming locations.
Forks, Washington
Forks Chamber of Commerce: Start your trip here. Snap a photo with the iconic “Welcome to Forks” sign and check out Bella’s red truck parked right out front.
The Swan Residence (775 K St.): This isn’t the house used in the movies, but it’s the one that inspired the home in the Twilight books. It’s private property, so be respectful if you stop by.
The Cullen House (654 E Division St.): Another book location. While it’s not the modern house from the movies, this is the home that originally inspired Stephenie Meyer’s version of the Cullen residence.
Forks Community Hospital: Look for Dr. Carlisle Cullen’s reserved parking spot at the admin building on 5th Street. Yes, it’s actually labeled.
Forks High School: While not used in the film, it’s still fun to see the school that plays such a big role in the series.
Forks Police Station: Make a quick stop here to imagine Charlie Swan still patrolling the town.
La Push & Surrounding Area
The Treaty Line (7764 La Push Rd.): Marked with a sign, this fictional boundary between werewolves and vampires is a fun photo op. Park nearby and check out both sides of the sign.
Jacob Black’s House (8320 La Push Rd.): Just down the road from the Treaty Line. Not a filming location, but a fun stop for fans of the books.
La Push Beach: “It’s La Push, baby.” This is where Bella first hears about the Cullens’ secret. Stay for sunset, it's stunning.
Where to Stay
Pacific Inn Motel (352 S Forks Ave, Forks, WA): Book the “Twilight Room” for a themed experience complete with nods to the saga. It’s one of the most popular places to stay for fans.
Bonus Filming Locations Nearby
Bella Italia Restaurant (118 E 1st St, Port Angeles, WA): Located about an hour from Forks, this is the restaurant where Bella and Edward had their first date. It’s a real Italian spot and still embraces the Twilight theme. Yes, you can order the mushroom ravioli.
The Swan House (184 S 6th St, St. Helens, OR): This was the actual filming location for Bella’s house in the movies. It’s private property, so be mindful.
Kalama High School (548 China Garden Rd, Kalama, WA): This school was used as Forks High School in the Twilight films. A must for movie fans.
