Forks Washington on the Olympic Peninsula

forks high resizeWell it has begun. The 1925 section of Forks High School has been fenced off and several maple trees and some shrubs have been removed and piled as the demolition begins to make way for the new Forks High School. The Spartan sign was carefully removed earlier in the day. I could not help but feel sad as I watched my very own Alma Mater soon to be no more. Plans for the new school include a grand entryway, using the historical facade of the 1925 building. "Hail to thee ole noble Forks High" those who walked your halls will always have their memories. And we will always "Hail the Blue and Gold!"

We get so many interesting photographs from our friends all over the world that we thought we’d try something new.We’re inviting Twilight fans–and anyone else interested in Forks and the West End–to send us a photo of them wearing a souvenir item, such as a t-shirt, for example, .Just to be clear about this, the “West End” is basically the Forks, LaPush, Clallam Bay, Sekiu and Neah Bay areas of Washington State, USA.From time to time, we’ll put our favorite shots online as a blog post.Extra credit will be given for the most exotic or unusual locations involved.Not only will you be world-famous if we use your shot ;-) , but we’ll also send those selected a “promo pack” from Forks, with stickers, brochures, maps and other fun Forks/LaPush stuff.
