Forks Chamber of Commerce

When I planned my visit to forks, as a twilight fan seeing bellas truck was on my list of things to do, but on the day of my visit there was some building work going on, they made it very difficult to get a picture of the trucks as the builders trucks were parked all around, the workmen seemed annoyed at us trying to get pics like we were getting in their way. The lady inside was very friendly and helpful though and gave us lots of info about the films

The truck from twilight was cool to see — definitely make a stop to see Bella’s truck if you’ve read the books. If you haven’t read the books, read it before you come so that you can appreciate why people get excited about visiting forks.

Awesome!!! Loved how they had a map of pins with everyone who visited!!! Loved Bella’s trucks especially how they had the one from the book and the movie! The were very polite!

Twilight fans will love stopping here, when we stopped here they had a «copy» of the Bella’s truck based on the Book Twilight, but also the actual truck from the movie.
Fun picture spot

I have to say, the people who work here are super helpful and friendly. You can tell that they’re very proud of Forks and how Twilight put their town on the pop culture map.
Besides that, this place is basically a Twilight museum. You can pose with cutouts of your favorite twilight characters, purchase forks high school swag, and hell even see the car Bella supposedly drove.
I wish they would have more non-​Twilight stuff, like the history of the city or something. Then again, Twilight is what made them well known in the first place.
3.5 stars

The staff here are so friendly and seeing the map with all of the fans who have visited forks was awesome as well. Loved putting on Dr. cullen’s coat and seeing the pictures

All the glowing reviews of this place are from fans of the Twilight series. I went to the Olympic Peninsula to see beautiful scenery. My husband and I happened to stop by the Forks Chamber of Commerce because 1) they had a picnic table and we could use it to eat our lunch and 2) they had a bathroom, and my husband needed to use it.
Three stars for the bathroom and picnic table. There were brochures and the like inside as well in case anyone needed them.
BUT…the woman who was working (volunteering???) for the Chamber of Commerce was actually rather rude to me. When asked if I needed information, I responded that I was merely waiting for my husband to be finished in the restroom. She pressed further, and I told her that I «had it covered». She seemed visibly miffed. At this point, I wanted to ask her where I could find Fangtasia. ;-P Woops, wrong series.

The lady that was there was rather rude. The truck outside said it was the truck from the movie… thought cool. Took a picture and then when we got home from our trip we watch the movies and the truck is not the same. There was a lot of things that were different. I was very disappointed in that.

If you’re going to be here, there’s a VERY good chance you came for the same reason. Great little stop (the logging exhibit next door is interesting too but I’m betting you didn’t come to see that). The staff are friendly and you can get a lot of good info here (and take pictures of some choice items like the truck, of course). This will always be my first stop in Forks.

Driving into (and around) Forks, it just screams Twilight. And not because of the way it is depicted in the Twilight books and movies, but because everywhere you look, everyone is trying to cash in on the Twilight craze. And hey, absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Driving up the 101 and heading into Forks, the Forks CoC was the first spot I came to. Welcome to Forks sign, Twilight tour bus, Bella’s truck (complete with cardboard cutout of Bella), «We love Bella & Edward» sign, Twilight poster, etc.
Ok, ok, so it was fun to drive around Forks and visit all the Twilight things (Swan house, treaty line, etc.). However, there is a lot more to Forks than Twilight. It is actually a great Olympic Penn town with plenty of non-​Twilight things to do.
All that said, if Twilight is what draws you to Forks, be sure to stop by the CoC. Take your photo with Bella’s truck, take the Twilight tour, and get your fill on things (Twilight and non-​Twilight) to do in the Forks area.

The woman who welcomed us as we came in was so friendly and helpful! She gave us all kinds of brochures for places and things to see in Forks. And she was kind enough to take pics for us too. Oh yea, she is in the Forks Documentary too! Forks is such a teeny tiny town, but there’s so much to see. I’d recommend stopping here first and getting some good deets before venturing out into town.

Twilight. Twilight. Twilight.
Reading through these reviews only one of them were actually just commenting on the nice local area.
Really?
So. For those of you who are adolescent and creaming your pants at the idea of stepping foot into Forks, here’s my own personal tour list:
–Visit the logging museum: see lots of pictures of people missing arms and legs for the wood that was used to build houses in the NW. Probably your house.
–Eat some salmon: it’s fresh and good.
–Go for a HIKE: The olympic national rainforest IS AROUND YOU!!! My lord people, you are crapping yourself over a stupid truck and yes the most majestic and beautiful forest is right in front of your EYES!
–Visit the beach: *Disclaimer*: No werewolves. The Native Americans are not werewolves, they don’t have bulging teen muscles and no, they don’t want to take a picture with you.
Forks is my home, at least enjoy it for what is has to offer. That lady who wrote those books never even WENT there.

There’s so much to do in Forks regarding TWILIGHT. Because the film wasn’t made in Forks but is about Forks they have a driving tour around town that highlights the places you know of in the book and movie, like the swans house, hospital, police station… It’s put on by the Chamber of Commerce, of course! What do you expect them to do with all these devoted fans showing up in their tiny town! Give them what they need, more Twilight. I took my kids, they loved it, we took pictures of everything, went to Twilight shops. It made me the coolest mom in the world and I paired it up with a trip to the Olympic National Park. Two for the price of one!

Not a full 5 stars because I dont like the fact that the chamber gives out a tour map that includes «Charlie’s house»
WHAT DO THEY BASE THAT ON ??
its not the same house as the movie !!!
Why do they say it is!!! and they could have gotten a truck the same year as the one used in the movie. Not the same year truck.
Very Nice people though.

Super nice people work at the Forks Chamber of Commerce. They gave us maps, told us great places to visit, and were just happy that we stopped by.

Very friendly people that work here. They are very happy to help out with Twilight tour questions and even outline a map for the best routes and spots to see. I LOVED my trip through Forks and La Push!

I am now more hopelessly devoted to the Twilight series after passing through this lovely town with my Twi-​hard 13 year old niece!
After driving the 3.5 hours from Seattle to Forks, I was tired and about to pass off the hoopla of this now infamous tour stop in WA, but after walking in, the guide was nothing but hella nice.
Even though she was doing her job to inform us of all the tour stops and scenes in the area (my niece was wearing a Twilight T-​shirt with Edward and Bella, awww), she was genuinely friendly and could tell that she loved representing a town that reveled in choosing a side: Team Edward or Team Jacob?
After the self guided tour and stopping in the gift stores there, I too am now a Twihard Twilight fan.

In response to Karim’s review — the lady who proudly tells everyone she is cited in the end credits of the movie as a rep. of the Forks Chamber of Commerce is Team Jacob, she was totally wearing a «Jacob’s Girl» shirt and had a button with a pic of Taylor Lautner [still sporting long hair] on the fleece. So you’re not alone, even if you’re out numbered.
Came in here because I had to take a picture with «Bella’s truck» — and went inside because I wanted a Forks High Trojans t-​shirt [which I didn’t end up getting because none tickled my fancy]. Super friendly staff who is more than willing to assault you with Twilight knowledge ’til you’re ready to get down on the floor and chant «we’re not worthy!» a la Wayne’s World.
I really appreciated how appreciative these people are of the Twilight fandom and how much it’s brought financially to the town. As far as the town goes, everyone is super friendly and even if they don’t understand WHY we trek to the Twilight Mecca, they’re happy we came… as far as the Chamber of Commerce staff goes? They’re the biggest fans of all, and it’s awesome to sit back and chat them up about everything — I seriously spent more time chatting with CoC staffers than I did in any other part of the town lol
From the self-​guided tour guides to the guides of St. Helen’s, where a lot of the filming of «Forks» for Twilight actually took place, to a guide on what to do when you’re hanging around the area for a couple days, these folks are the authority on Forks and anything and everything Twilight related[as they should be!]
As far as the space goes? Cool storyboards signed by Catherine Hardwicke [director of the first film], personal notes from Stephenie Meyer, and Forks 98 331 logo’d t-​shirts. Dirt cheap souvenir postcards, too! This place is definitely a mandatory stop if you like Twilight enough to end up in Forks: P

Ok, before you judge, you really should read the first Twilight book.
Bless my parents for indulging me on this Twilight tour across the Olympic Peninsula. Honestly, I was screaming and flailing out the window like a fourteen year old at a Jonas Brothers concert. Camera in hand, I hiked up my skinny jeans and braved the criticism which was sure to ensue as I walked into this quaint little building.
«Hi, um… I like Twilight» I managed to stutter as the door slammed a little harder than it should have and at least a dozen tweens turned to gawk at the grown man reduced to mumbling and whimpering upon arriving at the mecca of all things Twilight.
«Welcome, come right on in!» Was a hearty response from the docent on duty. After that, I knew I was not being judged, but rather welcomed into the fold of the thousands upon thousands of people who’ve fallen in love with the series.
The actual chamber of commerce is tiny, though they do have some fairly witty bumper stickers you can’t get anywhere else in town, along with men’s options for clothing, and accessories related to the books. They also offer up all sorts of maps to places like the Swan residence, Forks High School, the Hospital (where Carlisle has a reserved spot!), and a couple other areas of interest. They also have a replica of Bella’s beat up pickup truck parked out front, and are hosts to the official Stephanie Meyer Day (September 13, also Bella’s birthday) festivities.
All in all, i applaud Forks for embracing the phenomenon and being so friendly to the throngs of people swarming this quaint little mill town, which was once nothing more than a speck on the map. The books have brought them much needed revenue, and they’ve brought us much needed fulfillment and entertainment.
The only criticism I would have of this place is the heavy bias towards Edward… I’m much more of a Jacob lover, myself.
Thank you, Forks. Thank you ever so much.
