Oregon
There’s something special about Oregon—or actually, a lot of somethings. This place feels familiar and friendly, and it's most definitely green. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel right at home.

The Pacific Northwest
This is our ecosystem. It inspires us. It informs our decisions and our innovation. The first recycling bills were drafted here. No surprise—sustainability is in our DNA. So is good coffee and fresh, locally grown food. Active isn’t an afterthought, either. It’s part of our lifestyle. We trek through forests, climb up rocks, ski down mountains, float on water, and play along the coast on the weekends. At Oregon, you come to explore, reflect, and find inspiration.
A Closer Look at Oregon
Located between the Oregon Coast and Cascades in the Willamette Valley, Eugene is an outdoor lover's base. There are lots of trails, lakes, rivers, and winding country roads close by, and day trippers will find lots to explore in any direction. An hour's drive to the west takes you to coast-hugging Highway 101, one of the most scenic roads in the country. To the east, the Oregon Cascades are a rugged playground for skiers, hikers, snow-shoers, and other adventurers. Drive in any direction, and you'll find charming and historic small towns.
