Obviously Forks & LaPush are not quite like what's portrayed in the movie, but they are small towns, and the people are generally pretty nice. Some of them are sick of the tourists (like me)brought there by the Twilight series, but the fact that the local economy has benefitted from the added visitors is undeniable. Some of the stores there display signs in their windows advertizing "Unique/Locally Made Twilight Gifts." They seemed a lot friendlier toward me once they found out I was at least from the Pacific Northwest, & not California or somewhere else in the country - since I'm 'sort of' local. Of course I didn't offer up the fact that I'm originally from California... :P Did you know that the Quileute language is completely unique & one of only five in the world without nasal sounds? I thought that was pretty wild - try to imagine having a conversation in a latin based language without using any nasal sounds... I also learned that they trace their ancestry back thousands of years to the Ice Age, & they may very well have been the first inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest. They are very proud of everything that makes them unique as a people.
