Historic neighborhood 10 minutes from Eugene
Nestled along the Willamette River in the heart of Springfield, the historic Downtown/Washburne District captures the imagination of residents and visitors with its walkable streets, charming homes, artsy boutiques and delectable restaurants in the Pacific Northwest’s beloved evergreen landscape. Springfield’s legacy as an old logging town inhabits the homes and businesses throughout Main Street and the Washburne District. Named for C.W. Washburne, a prominent early settler and gristmill owner, the district and the rest of the city grew through the late 1800s. As more people moved here to work in the nearby sawmills and timber yards, workers built sturdy Craftsman bungalows, Tudor cottages and Homestead farmhouses. More than a century later, Springfield mirrors the neighboring city of Eugene, divided by Interstate 5 and the Willamette River. Timber logging remains vital to the regional economy but has since been surpassed by healthcare and higher education, with the University of Oregon, PeaceHealth Medical Group and the McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center near downtown Springfield collectively employing more than 15,000 people.

Grocery Outlet and Main Street Market
The Main Street area downtown features plenty of places to dine and shop for groceries, butcher-cut meats, organic health foods and other essentials. Discount supermarket chain Grocery Outlet offers brand-name products and goods. While Main Street Market has fewer items, folks shop here for fresh local organic produce and specialty products. With an outdoor naturalist character to the community, enthusiasts can shop for kayaks, bicycles and camping gear at businesses such as Oregon WaterShed and Len’s Bikes. Residents can sometimes have difficulty choosing where to eat downtown with restaurants serving various cuisines, including Mongolian barbecue, American-Chinese takeout, Mexican taquerias, Italian pizzerias and classic American diners and cafes. With theaters, antique furniture stores and bars along the roadway, adding other activities to a date night or a leisurely weekend afternoon close to home is easy.
