Forks is a compact, rain‑soaked coastal town on the Olympic Peninsula that makes an excellent base for multi‑week travel‑therapy contracts — expect easy access to beaches, temperate‑rainforest hikes, abundant wildlife, cozy cafés and a small, welcoming community with basic services and short drives to clinics and trailheads.
Bigger hubs within driving distance — Port Angeles (≈56–57 miles) and Sequim (≈73–74 miles) — provide more dining, shopping and medical options and act as gateways to Olympic National Park, so you won’t feel isolated during a longer stay.
