TTTS Book Three will lead you to all the Twilight Saga Film Sites found in the US states of Oregon and Washington (places apart from the novel-related sites in Washington’s Olympic Peninsula—TTTS Book One).
More than a dozen Twilight Saga film sites can be visited within a 50 mile radius of two US cities:
- Vancouver (located in the southwestern area of Washington State)
- Portland (found in the northwestern area of Oregon State)
Tour the Twilight Saga Book Three film sites include:
The real-world house originally used to film exterior scenes of Charlie Swan’s home in Forks can still be found in Saint Helens, Oregon.
Saint Helens is also where several “Port Angeles” novel locations were filmed, such as the Thunderbird & Whale Bookstore, the alley where Bella was stalked by four drunken men, the parking lot where Edward repelled her stalkers with a marvelously menacing snarl, and the building where The Bloated Toad (aka La Bella Italia) restaurant exterior scenes were shot.
The Carver Café in Damascus, Oregon, is where Bella and Charlie—and Stephenie Meyer!—were filmed having dinner in “Forks.”
The film site used to shoot Bella’s Ballet Studio is in Portland, Oregon—not Phoenix, Arizona. As a matter of fact, absolutely nothing of the Twilight Saga was filmed in Phoenix.
Kalama High School in Washington and Madison High School in Oregon:
Kalama High School was used to shoot exterior Forks High School scenes (such as those including the Forks High School sign and the parking lot where Edward saved Bella from being crushed by Tyler’s van). Interior FHS footage (aka, can’t be visited) was filmed at Madison High School.
The Twilight Vampire Baseball Field film site—an area also used to shoot Eclipse Vampire Battlefield action—is just outside Vancouver, Washington. Yes, someone found it! And Tour the Twilight Saga will take you there.
As of April, 2014 (when TTTS Book One was finished and published), we’ve completed all research for TTTS Book Three. Unfortunately, we still need to do a recon trip to these sites. We hope to have TTTS Book Three published in late 2014 or early 2015.
Happy Twilighting!
