Hear all about PORT ANGELES, WA (Episode 224) HERE.

Ever wanted to walk in the footsteps of Bella Swan? Join us, Alexa and Rory—married musical nomads known as The ROAMies—as we finally check Forks, Washington off our travel bucket list! This small, rainy town captivated our imagination ever since it became the backdrop for the Twilight saga.
What we discovered might surprise you. Despite being the heart of Twilight country, almost none of the movies were actually filmed in Forks! But that hasn't stopped this charming logging town of 5,000 from embracing its literary fame. We explore the visitor center's dedicated Twilight museum, complete with movie memorabilia and the actual truck from the film sitting right outside. Armed with a free Twilight-themed map, we hit all the hotspots—from the Swan House (now an Airbnb) to Dr. Cullen's parking space at the hospital.
Beyond vampire lore, the Olympic Peninsula reveals itself as an outdoor paradise. We venture to La Push Beach on the Quileute Reservation where massive driftwood decorates the shoreline and the moody atmosphere instantly reminds us why Stephenie Meyer chose this setting. The region boasts over 100 miles of beaches, 200 miles of wild rivers, mysterious rainforests, and alpine meadows—all within easy reach of Forks. Whether you're a Twilight fan or nature lover, this corner of Washington delivers adventure and wonder.
