Aug 3, 2020 · With a new companion book coming out on Aug. 4, "Twilight" fans will once again visit the moody, mysterious town of Forks, Washington — this time from the perspective of Edward Cullen, the iconic (and dreamy) centenarian vampire. While Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series takes place in the Olympic Peninsula, nothing was filmed in the area for the movie adaptations.
- The Cullen House (Portland, Ore.) and the Swan House (St. Helens, Ore.) The movie version of Bella Swan's house is a white clapboard number in the quaint town of St. Helens, Ore.
- Silver Falls State Park (Sublimity, Ore.) Not to throw shade (get it?) on the entire set construction/CGI industry, but Mother Nature does a way better job at building forests.
- Forks High School (Kalama High School, Kalama, Wash. and Madison High School, Portland, Ore.) Our obsession with cool movie schools goes way back, and Forks High is absolutely up there.
- Carver Cafe (Damascus, Ore.) Meyer has said that choosing the town of Forks was supposed to signify Bella's "fork in the road" moment, and we can see that — going from Arizona to Oregon, from Mom to Dad, from girl to woman.
- Bridge To Forks. In the opening sequence of Twilight, Charlie and Bella drive over a huge bridge on their way to Forks. The opening sequence is a beautiful arrangement of fly-over shots of the Washington landscape, all set to the soothing banjo of "Full Moon" by The Black Ghosts.
- The Swan House. One of the most iconic locations is, of course, Bella's house. This is where Bella and Edward's iconic first kiss happens, where she suffers from nightmares in New Moon, and where Riley breaks in to get Bella's scent in Eclipse.
- Forks High School. Of course, a good portion of the saga takes place at Forks High School. This is the one place Bella is really forced to live like a normal human, and usually the one place she actually interacts with her human friends.
- Forks Cafe. The Forks Cafe is a staple for Bella and Charlie. Charlie has been ordering the same meal there for years, and everyone is so excited to see Bella again that they still remember her order.
Aug 21, 2020 · The book series does take place in Forks, Washington, but interestingly enough, the movies were not wholly filmed in the town of Forks. Rather, they were filmed in a town called Vernonia, which is actually a logging town. This town is actually closer to Portland Oregon (roughly 30 minutes) and is where most of the in-town scenes were filmed.
