Talk:Forks, Washington

message: Citation is needed for the statement about the 4th of July Celebration.  I actually recommend it be deleted, check that I'm going to delete it and someone can put it back in with a citation. I really have a hard time believing a town founded in the 1940's has one of the longest 4th of July Celebrations in America?!
Last, lets keep this real. To mention the Twilight book is one thing, to use the book as a reference in talking about the actual town is another.  This is a wikipedia article and not a tourism brochure. The town should not be lifted up or put down in the article, only facts should be mentioned and the user should be allowed to make their own conclusions. Those are the fact about the actual town and not the fictional town, the fictional town has no place in the article. I encourage local residents help write this article as they know their community better than anyone.--Jaretac (talk) 21:14, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I noticed the very high rainfall average (106.91 inches per annum). I think 
this is probably the wettest city in the US. Can others perhaps confirm this? Meltingpot (talk) 22:19, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: United States rainfall climatology cites 275.00" in SE Alaska.  You might try looking at, highest rain fall in the "lower 48".  I didn't have the time to look into that.  Skiendog (talk) 22:42, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Rainfall

message: For many years, the city's economy was fueled by the local timber industry. With recent declines in the industry, however, Forks has had to rely on the nearby Clallam Bay Correctional Center and Olympic Corrections Center as a source of jobs. Forks is a popular destination for sport fishers who fish for salmon and rainbow trout in nearby rivers. It is also supported by visitors to Olympic National Park. Forks is the primary setting for the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. Stephanie Meyer herself did not visit the town while writing the books.[citation needed]
Citation is not needed here. I direct you to here, where it gives you citation right there. Kalga (talk) 00:27, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Citation needed? Not at all

message: The article states that Forks is the largest town in the contiguous 48 states with a true oceanic climate according to the Koeppen climate classification scheme (type "Cfb"). Actually, I think Lynden has it beat. The Lynden article cites weather data from the Weather Channel, which shows the driest summer month with >40 mm precipitation (51 mm in July). I'm going to remove that fact, and once I can confirm (using GIS) that Lynden really is the largest town in a Cfb climate zone, I'll add it to Lynden. Redtitan (talk) 04:33, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

message: Is this notable? Some Forks residents apparently ran off a multiracial family that had come to vacation there.   38.65.100.100 (talk) 16:03, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a single news incident. We usually do not add such content to the page about the location. What to add is decided by the amount of coverage. If something is long lasting and has a significant impact, then it could be considered. However, this seems like a single incident which was reported in the news briefly. I don't believe this should be added to the article.--DreamLinker (talk) 11:02, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: This is getting more coverage. (e.g., https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0h248k2) I came to this page looking for information on this incident, so it might be good to include at least a note on this. 147.188.200.88 (talk) 09:43, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
