Location Information:
La
Push is a small unincorporated
community in Clallam County,
Washington, United States. It is
home to the Quileute Native American
tribe and is located along the
Quileute River. La Push is known for
its whale-watching and natural
beauty. It is also a tourist
attraction for many fans of the book
series Twilight by Stephenie Meyer,
as a large part of the series is
located in La Push, where Jacob
Black lives.
Today,
La Push has oceanfront resorts, a
seafood company, fish hatchery, and
a revamped marina.
The Quileute Tribe has recreated its
traditional skills and crafts, which
are taught at school along with the
unique language, which is unrelated
to any root language in the world,
and one of only five in the world
without nasal sounds.
The popular Quileute Days takes
place July 17-19 in La Push. The
tribal celebration of cultural
heritage and modern lifestyle
includes a fireworks display, a
traditional salmon bake, dancing and
songs, a softball tournament, and
other field sports, a slo-pitch
tournament, a horse show tournament,
arts and craft display and food
concessions
