So, this time we would like to share with you all about the locations of a film. If we tell you that the film is about love between a vampire and a human, we bet that you guys will know what it is all about right?
So, we are going to share some shooting places that exist in TWILIGHT. Enjoy viewing this post! J
1. Vernonia,
Oregon (aka: Forks, Washington)
The picture is the street view of the Wauna Federal Credit Union building in Vernonia which played as the Forks Police Station during filming. The two additional distinctive landmarks aside the building are seen in this movie when Edward and Bella returned to town from Port Angeles. The house in ‘Forks’ where Bella lives with her father Charlie is about 20 miles east of Vernonia by the Washington border in Saint Helens at 184 South 6th Street.
2. Carver
Cafe

The outside of the cafe |
This café was used as the local casual dining restaurant in
Forks, and plays the part of The Lodge in this movie as mentioned in the
novels. According to their website, it has always been a restaurant since in
the late 50’s. There is a house behind this café which was owned by a husband
and wife who built this café. The husband was injured in a logging accident and
because of that, the family had to find different income, so, the wife ran the café.
It is always looks like a restaurant but most of locals talk about their
memories as a donut shop.
3. The
View Point Inn
This inn is just 22 miles from downtown Portland, Oregon,
near Crown Point with a panoramic view of the entire Columbia River George (the
city lights of Portland and Vancouver). The prom scenes in Twilight were filmed
here. This 1994 world class boutique hotel and dining restaurant serves lunch,
dinner and Sunday brunch. The inn also available for banquets, private parties,
weddings and other special events.
4. Silver
Falls State Park, Oregon

This is where the deer hunt in the prologue of Twilight is
filmed, as well as some shots of Bella with Edward in the treetops.
5. Kalama
and Madison High Schools (aka: Forks High School)

Forks High School was actually a combination of two
different schools. Kalama High School in Kalama, Washington was used for the exterior
shots of the school - such as the parking lot scene in which Edward
first shows his superhuman speed and strength. The
cafeteria scenes were shot at Madison High School in Portland, Oregon, which was
also a location used for Gus Van Sant's 2007 independent film "Paranoid
Park."
6. Indian
Beach (aka: First Beach, LaPush, Washington)
Indian Beach, Ecola State Park is the location used as the
surfing spot for the high school kids of Forks. It is also where the scene of
Jacob telling Bella the wolfs origins and the ‘cold ones’ were filmed in this
movie.
7. Olde Town District, Saint Helens, Oregon (aka: Port Angeles, Washington)
This is where the scenes in "Port Angeles" are filmed for Twilight:
- The "Petite Jolie" dress shop, where Angela & Jessica pick out their prom dresses, is actually the Angel Hair Salon at 251 South 1st Street.
- The "Thunderbird and Whale" book store, where Bella buys her vampire research material, is actually a private office building at 260 South 2nd Street.
- Behind the bookstore site is the alleyway where Edward swoops in to rescue Bella from her would-be attackers, on 1st Street.
- The "Bloated Toad" Italian Restaurant, where Edward opens up to Bella, is actually a construction company at 333 South 1st Street.
8. Coquitlam,
British Columbia (aka: LaPush, Washington)
The scenes with Jacob and Billy Black's
residence were filmed in Coquitlam, a suburb of Vancouver, BC. The private
residence is in clear view from the street and it's on a corner lot located at
Victoria Drive, Gilleys Trail and Quarry Road. The house was painted red to
match the color in the book prior to filming.
