La Push, Washington

La Push is a small unincorporated community situated at the mouth of the Quillayute River in Clallam County, Washington, United States, in the Western Olympic Peninsula.

Tribal members traditionally built cedar canoes for a variety of uses; they ranged in size from two-man to ocean-going freight vessels capable of carrying three tons.

In February 1889, an executive order by President Grover Cleveland established a one-mile square reservation at La Push.

[4] The plan was to reduce damage from tsunamis and flooding that might result from a higher sea level caused by climate change.

[6] The climate is moderated and strongly influenced by the Pacific Ocean, which renders mild winters for a northerly latitude.

[citation needed] The Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail passes through La Push on the way to its western terminus at Cape Alava.

La Push garners a good amount of tourism from Twilight fans since the town is one of the primary locations in the series due to the incorporation of the Quileute Tribe in the story.
