Phoenix, Arizona

Phoenix, Arizona was the town that Stephenie Meyer grew up in, as did Bella Swan. It is where Bella took dance (ballet) classes and lived for almost 17 years of her life. Phoenix is also where James almost killed Bella, in the ballet studio but was killed by the Cullens.

Also, Renee moved there after she left Charlie. Some of her last words were, "Let me go, Charlie," and Bella had to repeat these words to Charlie so that she could escape to Phoenix to get away from James.

According to Bella, in Phoenix it's sunny all day and there is a blistering heat.
