“Twilight” Travel Guide in Washington State

Twilight fans will get a kick out of this one. With the release of New Moon (the second film in the Twilight Saga) just days away, Washington State Tourism has launched a new Twilight Travel Guide on its website:

Welcome to Washington State, Home of the exciting Twilight Saga.

The natural gothic splendor of the misty and mysterious Olympic Peninsula is the perfect locale for Twilight, the popular book series by Stephenie Meyer. As every fan of the Twilight books (and movies based on them) knows, the story is set in and around Forks, La Push, and Port Angeles. All of these Olympic Peninsula towns are easily accessible from US 101, the scenic highway that loops around Olympic National Park.
