La Push, Washington
From Twilight Saga Wiki
La Push is a small community in the state of Washington. It is located near Forks and houses the Quileute tribe. It is well known for surfing and whale-watching. It is one of the main settings for the second book of the Twilight saga, New Moon, as it is the home of Bella's family friend Jacob Black. Stephenie Meyer used the local tribe in the first book as a plot device to tell Bella, and the reader, that the Cullens were vampires, and in New Moon she added a genetic quirk that allows the Quileutes to turn into werewolves when vampires are in the area.
This 2,000 sq. mile area is bordered on the north and west by over 100 miles of saltwater shores, and to the south and east by alpine meadows and rain forest valleys. Over 200 miles of wild rivers criss-cross the region, providing healthy runs of native salmon and steelhead.
