Washington

For the U.S. capital see Washington, D.C..

Washington is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Washington was carved out of the western part of Washington Territory which had been ceded by Britain in 1846 by the Oregon Treaty as settlement of the Oregon Boundary Dispute. It was admitted to the Union as the forty-second state in 1889.

Washington is the principal setting of the Twilight series of films. Most of the scenes from the films and novels take place in the fictional town of Forks in the Olympic Peninsula.
