Forks is a city in Clallam County, Washington, United States. The population was 3,120 at the 2000 census. It is named after the forks in the nearby Quillayute, Bogachiel, Calawah, and Sol Duc rivers.

For many years, the city's economy was fueled by the local timber industry. With recent declines in the industry, however, Forks has had to rely on the nearby Clallam Bay Correctional Center and Olympic Corrections Center as a source of jobs. Forks is a popular destination for sport fishers who fish for salmon and rainbow trout in nearby rivers. It is also supported by visitors to Olympic National Park.

You did a great job depicting Forks. Port Angeles is my hometown, and it's been interesting seeing so many people come visit because of this saga. It was even more interesting reading the book and knowing the exact places of most of the events. It's great.
ANYWAY... great lens, as they said. Thanks for promoting Forks and the Olympic Peninsula. It really is a beautifully mysterious and lovely place.
