The scene where Waylon Forge was attacked by James' coven was filmed in Vancouver, WA at Kadow's Marina just west of Vancouver Lake along the Columbia River. The owners, Lloyd and Bev Kadow's were cited Twilight's credits as "Boat Wranglers". The name of Waylon's boat is the "Duckworth" and docked in slip #31. In the movie, just before Victoria reveals herself to Waylon, there's a shot behind him where a large blue sign is propped against the wall that says, "Caterpillar Island Marina and Boat Rentals". It's property of the Kadow's and was shown to me during a visit there. Beware though if you consider visiting the site, there is no parking available as the only spots are reserved for the residents of the marina. One resident likes to park his car behind "trespassers" effectively trapping them there until he decides to move his car. The larger parking area on the other side of the road requires a State permit since it's in a wildlife preserve. By the way, the Cullen family home is in Portland only about 5 minutes from the "I-405/Fremont" bridge near the Portland downtown industrial area and known locally as the "Hoke House". Google it for amazing pictures of the inside that wasn't shown in the movie. Mr Hoke and his wife own it and he is one of Nike's executives. The place is HUGE even from the street. Oh, the road showing Edward driving Bella to his home is nowhere near the house. The house is in a housing development and on a city street. I'm guessing the forest road was filmed in either Oxbow State Park in OR or Silver Falls State Park. The bridge that Charlie and Bella drive across at the beginning of the film is the Bridge of the Gods (a toll-bridge) that cross the Columbia River between WA and OR. The Vampire Baseball field with Multnomah Falls in the background is on the WA side of Columbia River in a place called "The Shire" near Washougal, almost a suburb of Vancouver WA. A little known fact about the schools used in the film is that the "Office" scene where Edward tries to get transferred out of Biology was actually the administration office of St. Helens High School in St. Helens, OR. It's been repainted and the 4-tiered shelves seen on the left side of the scene is now in the secretary's side office. It wasn't mentioned, I believe, but the Biology class and hall scenes were also filmed in Portland's Madison High School. At Kalama High School, the Arizona hospital room and the batting cages were filmed in a classroom there, the "breezeway" where Bella meets Eric Yorke, the lawn with the picnic tables where Jessica, Angela and Bella talk about going to Port Angeles, and the hill that Bella walks up past Edward to tell him she knows what he is, are all filmed at Kalama High School. Hope this helps in locating film sites used.
