Squealing tweens, teens, and moms are packing the theaters this week for the premiere of the second installation of the Twilight series, New Moon. And just like that, a cottage industry has sprung up around all things Twilight. Nordstrom has even gotten in on the hubbub with Edward, Jacob, and Bella bangles, and Team Edward/Team Jacob tees. The biggest winner of all the Twilight hysteria, however, is the sleepy state of Washington, as it is where all the action takes place in the books. The tourism board has fully drunk the Cullen Kool-Aid and has launched a section on the official site of Washington State dedicated to enticing Twilight-inspired visitors.

The tourism board would like you to know that they were early fans of the Twilight series, which just so happens to highlight three real life places in Washington -- namely Forks, Port Angeles, and La Push. You can visit Bella and Edward’s high school in Forks, stake out the scenic beach at La Push where Bella learns the truth about Edward, or grab a bite at the restaurant in Port Angeles where B + E have their first date. The local stores and restaurants are now offering menu items and memorabilia for fans with a thirst for all things Twilight. You can even download a handy dandy Twilight map to Washington right here. No word on what the restaurateurs and boutique owners think about being turned into a vampire theme park, but I'm guessing with all the added business they don't mind.
