Cashing in on vampire fever

The town of Forks, Washington is nestled on the edge of Olympic National Park. It’s a quiet place, with about 3,000 residents, working in the timber industry or the local prison. But the trickle of tourists has turned into a flood of fans of the “Twilight” series, which is set in Forks. The eerie plotlines draw fans to local spots, and benefit businesses like Forks Outfitters, where Dave Gedlund is store director. “New Moon,” the second movie based on a “Twilight” book, opens tonight.
