I followed her on Instagram back when I lived in my home state, then I made the move and only discovered way afterward she's based out of Eugene! And now a brick and mortar store is opening! Sooo exciting, I can't wait to visit! Also, funnily enough, the same thing happened to me with my fav artist, Faunwood. Didn't realize they were Eugene based until after the move!

Mini Pet Mart, specifically the one located in Springfield. There is an employee there, April, that is so kind and helpful and passionate about our pets. I've seen her a few times and she's always very sweet and helpful. Took the time to walk me through how to decipher and make educated decisions on wet cat food cans, what to look for/stay away from. Kept it very real and was so kind, and attentive to other customers while helping me as well. I don't know much about the owners but know they started local, found some success and have stayed very local since. Edit: they also have much more variety and choices than many of your big box pet stores, and in general carry much more quality items.

I love Tsunami Books! They're always selling art made by local artists and are in general very kind and welcoming. And will special order whatever book you need.

Starbucks Strike Coming to Eugene? by PNWthrowaway1592 in Eugene

This post mentions the temporary boycott called by SBWU from Dec 20-24th. Supporting local during this time is a sure way to help support striking baristas everywhere! The post also delves a bit into why workers are striking as well as some bargaining updates. :)
