The Willamette Valley is a unique place. We live, shop, eat, and play in the great Pacific Northwest and we wouldn’t have it any other way. NERUS Strategies, a company born in the Pacific Northwest, is bringing back Best of the Willamette Valley in 2024 to engage the community in celebrating the places, restaurants, and local businesses we love in the following counties:

• Marion

• Polk

• Yamhill

• Linn

 

This year, we received over 405,000 votes, a remarkable 31% increase from 2023!

​

This venture wouldn’t be possible without our sponsors and advertisers. We are deeply grateful to our advertisers, including our presenting sponsor Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking, for making this printed guide a reality so you can easily find the best of the best.

​

The Willamette Valley boasts so many fantastic places to eat, drink, shop, and play, and we are proud to highlight and support these outstanding establishments. We also know that the Willamette Valley is a great starting point to venture from, which is why in 2024, we have included categories from our great coastal towns in Lincoln County.

NERUS Strategies has produced Best of Las Vegas, Best of Northwest Arkansas, and other programs across the United States and brings their expertise to their home city and surrounding areas.
