The city's economy was, for years, founded on the local timber industry, but with timber's recent decline, Forks has had to rely mainly on tourism. It is a popular destination for sport fishers, and for visitors to the National Park. The extraordinary success of the Twilight saga has brought in many more visitors, with a huge number of fans wanting to walk the streets described in the series.

It is known for its beautiful beaches, its surfing and whaling, as well as the Ocean Park Resort along James Beach. The name La Push derives from the French La Bouche, due to its location at the mouth of the River Quileute.
La Push is inhabited solely by the Quileute tribe, and it has been their home for thousands of years. The town, local resort and harbor are all managed by the Quileute tribe.
