A small selection of local things that make us happy
Sometimes, because we’re Eugene Weekly and we can, we choose random things that our staff and writers love about this part of Oregon we call home. Election conspiracy theories to the contrary, the Weekly’s Best of Eugene is a readers poll. Those votes are a chance for folks across Lane County to decide what they love. But staff picks? That’s on us.
And just like in the national and local elections, if you want things to be different — vote! It still matters. Or write us a letter and tell us something — or someone — you love in this wet and wonderfully weird place.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
