| Welcome to
Eugene, Oregon, a city so friendly it has a first name!
Many nationally known magazines have touted Eugene for
its livability; pleasant climate, cultural diversity,
quality of professional services, and economy. So
whether you call it "home" or you've just
stopped by to visit, you'll always find something unique
in Eugene.
Nestled in the Willamette
Valley between the breathtaking scenery of the Cascade
Mountains and the Oregon Coast Range, Eugene is often
referred to as "The Emerald City." Douglas Fir
forests border Eugene on three sides and account for its
past reputation as a lumber town.
The Willamette River
flows on a diagonal course through the center of the
city. One of the most loved and used facilities is the
park and greenway system that borders the entire river.
Four graceful bike-pedestrian-only bridges connect both
sides of the river and provide a loop system for
walkers, joggers, bikers, and roller-bladers.
Stop in, stay awhile, and
don't forget, we're on a first-name basis in Eugene!
