Springfield
About 60,000 people.
Springfield sits right next to Eugene, separated only by the Willamette River. It has a fun, small-town feel and a bright, cheerful downtown.
You can find the famous painted mural of a certain yellow cartoon family, bike the scenic river trails, and visit the Dorris Ranch to walk among old filbert nut trees.
