Every year we ask Lane County voters to weigh in on what they love best for Best of Eugene in our readers poll. Every year, readers think Eugene Weekly staff chose the top picks — nope! It’s all you! Instead, EW staff does our own, highly personal, slightly quirky, picks the following week!
Nitpicky veterinarians, hidden gems, cool business trends and more make up our 2025 staff picks!
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.
