About

Welcome to Forks, Washington--the Rainiest Town in the Contiguous United States!

Every year, Forks gets about 10 feet or 120 inches of rain, so its title is well-deserved.
Located on the west side of the Olympic Peninsula, Forks was one of America's last frontiers. The large prairie was once home to the Quileute people. Settlers began arriving here in the late 1870s. Eventually, the area became a booming logging town.

Today, Forks is a popular tourist destination for visitors to Olympic National Park and fans of the Twilight book and movie series which was set in this rainy town.
