Forks Washington on the Olympic Peninsula

Those of you who have visited Forks know we actually do have a movie theater. It's just not a functioning movie theater. So, that means we're considering--gasp--leaving Forks for the New Moon movie release next week. Luckily, we have several great theater options in our area!

Port Angeles is showing New Moon Thursday, November 19, 2009, just after midnight. It's playing downtown at the Lincoln Theater. Twilight will play before it at 9:00 p.m. No advance tickets. This is, of course, the famous theater where Bella and her friends would have gone for a movie on excursions outside of Forks.

Port Townsend's New Moon opening happens at the Rose Theater at the same time on Thursday evening. They have advance tickets available, beginning November 16th, at their box office and online. The Rose is one of our favorite theaters and is always worth a visit.

Victoria, BC, has the movie opening on Thursday at 10:00 p.m. at several theaters including the Capital 6 Victoria Cinemas; Empire University 4; Silver City Victoria and the Caprice Showcase Theater.

It's almost here!!

Why would anyone visit the Olympic Peninsula in November, a month well-known for dark, stormy weather? To be part of the premier showing of the Twilight movie at the theatre closest to where the series is actually set, of course. Duh!!
Port Angeles is planning a host of fun-sounding activities for November 21st, celebrating the opening of the movie at the Lincoln Theatre (virtually next door to the Bella Italia restaurant) in downtown Port Angeles. All the details are in this post from their blog.
If you’re able to attend, plan to make a weekend of it to check out Forks and the rest of the area while you’re here!
11/17/08 UPDATE – Further information, including movie show times, is in this Peninsula Daily News article from Sunday.

Fall means beautiful sunsets here on the Olympic Peninsula. This image of tonight’s sunset over the picturesque harbor in Port Angeles, our neighbors to the east, was captured from their webcam.
