Opis

Forks is a community rich in logging heritage. Situated on a prairie between the forks of rivers, the town sits amidst the beauty of the vast rain forest of Washington States Olympic Peninsulas west end. Settled in the mid-1870s by pioneer homesteading farmers, Forkss name reflects its location at the confluence of the Calawah, Bogachiel, and Sol Duc Rivers. The towns annual average rainfall of approximately 120 inches is legendary, making it the rainiest incorporated city in the contiguous states. Forks is a hub for Olympic Peninsula visitors, drawn by world-class salmon and steelhead fishing and by the wonders of the Olympic National Park and the sea stack-lined Pacific Coast. Most recently, Forks has made a name for itself as the home to vampires and werewolves in Stephenie Meyers best-selling Twilight series.
