There have been a number of break-ins and burglaries recently in the Forks area.  The Forks police Dept and the Clallam County Sheriffs office would have the details.  I know there were occurrences in Valley View and Terra Eden areas around Forks last night and also and burglary at the Smokehouse Restaurant which has been hit twice.  There was also a recent report of trespassers on Trout Avenue north of Forks a few days ago.  Lonnie. image 31=I took this photo this morning outside the Smokehouse restaurant in Forks where Clallam County Sherriff Sergeant Brian King (left) and City of Forks police officer Mike Gentry examine the grounds for clues to the break in.  Note the liquor bottle.  Liquor was stolen but I don't know if this bottle was part of the robbery or not.  Only the police could tell you. Lonnie.
