Broaden your search a bit, include Port Angeles and Sequim. I'm pretty sure you'll find something. Forks is a very small town. Also post this question to the Sequim group in Facebook - assuming you're not concerned with the beans spilling. LGBGT is not that unusual here..

There’s an lgbtq+ fb group for the Olympic peninsula, that might be a good place to ask as well.

I would strongly advise going to Forks if you're an LGBTQ+ couple. It's a really dangerous place for LGBTQ+ and PoC, and generally most businesses there would be intolerant.

If you really want to go to the area, maybe consider booking a photographer from Seattle and taking photos in LaPush. As a LGBTQ+ woman of color who lived in Forks, do not support the town or their businesses.

Thanks so much for the info- I totally didn't know this.

https://www.wired.com/story/antifa-social-media-rumor-forks-washington/ One of the major incidents happened when a large part of the town was complicit in trying to lynch a multiracial family.

I moved out of Forks last summer and it is no doubt a sundown town. I and other LGBTQ+ members have been threatened and harassed on multiple occasions. It's a shame because the surrounding nature is incredible. If you're committed to this, book a photographer from Seattle or Bremerton, and take photos in either the national parks (Crater Lake, Hoh) or on the reservations.
