Noob Gaming 26.6 million single individuals visit Oregon and 13.3 million groups yearly, very few people go somewhere other than Seattle and if you had actually read that statistic correctly you would know that 39.9 million people per year visit Seattle and the surrounding country. Its estimated that Bend oregon alone receives 20,000 daily tourists and this is one of our smaller cities.

in family guy season 13 episode 1 (Crossover Episode between Simpsons and Family Guy), it is stated that they live an hour and a half away from each other, and family guy lives in Rhode island. So it's impossible that it's in Oregon... We also see them driving from Rhode Island to Oregon. And since it takes about 47 hours and 26 minutes (Driving Time) from RI to OR.

It’s not tricky at all! The creator Matt Groening is from Portland, Oregon, and they have a mural in downtown Springfield, Oregon that was commemorated by people who worked on The Simpsons! Matt also said that it’s based on Springfield, Oregon. There’s also tons of murals of the characters around Springfield and Eugene!

Fun fact: despite being named as “non canonical” the later seasons of The Simpsons, does indeed support the idea of Springfield being in/near Oregon, seeing as in episode 7 of season 24, Hippies from Portland Oregon could move to Springfield Oregon in less than a day, and the real world drive is only an hour long

I just finished watching the ENTIRETY of The Simpsons. All 33 seasons. And, since this was the video that first got me interested in anything Simpsons-related, I just had to go back to it after I had finished. And all the while I was looking out for times they disproved this! And, apart from when characters were joking, it all seemed pretty in line with this theory. And hey, in one of the episodes (about season 30-ish I think?) they go to Portland, Oregon and make a joke about all the streets that share names with people The Simpsons know. So yeah, canon. Thanks for this video, MatPat. And if anyone from The Simpsons ever possibly sees this - thank you for a great few years.

Fun fact: the donut was put up as promotion for the Simpson movie and at one point an arsonist lit it on fire.

S8 E9 Marge: "I was sure you'd head west because Springfield slopes down that way" And they're at the coast (in a lighthouse), meaning they live in a state with a west coast which only leaves 3 choices since KBBL rules out NY, PA, OH, MI, AND NJ.
