Pe Ell was named after French-Canadian Pierre Charles, who lived in the area in the 1850s. Located 23 miles west of Chehalis on Scenic Highway 6 (Ocean Beach Highway). This small town has a strong Polish ancestry and the oldest church in town is the Holy Cross Polish National Church. They also have a vintage military tank right next to the fire station that is often missed by visitors. Logging continues to be the mainstay of Pe Ell's economy.

Forks (The one *I* always think about when y'all talk about Forks, and a heckuva lot shorter commute).

The City of Forks is a small, rural community with big ideas! Nestled between a million acres of national park and the wild Pacific Coast, Forks is the heart of the Olympic Peninsula's West End. It is a place where folks stop for pedestrians and still chat in grocery lines. Forks has traditionally been a timber town, with logging the mainstay of the ecomony. But that has changed a bit, and all sorts of fun things are happening. Technology is taking a major role as a redundant loop of fiberoptic cable around the Peninsula is only months from completion. Our schools are so wired they are ranked among the "most wired" schools in the nation, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has chosen Forks High School as a model for "High Tech High". We now have an incubator building for tech businesses. We also have a new industrial park, a huge airport, and a community aquatic center that will be complete this spring (2005).
