What Is the Zip Code for Springfield, Oregon?
Springfield, Oregon uses two primary zip codes: 97477 covers the central and west side of the city, while 97478 covers the east side of Springfield and the Thurston area. If a Springfield address ends in 97478, the property is on the east end of the city, generally east of 42nd Street and extending toward the McKenzie River corridor and the foothills beyond.
Lane County surrounds both zip codes. Springfield sits directly east of Eugene along the McKenzie Highway (OR-126) and the Willamette River, making 97478 one of the more accessible east-side addresses in the Eugene-Springfield metro.
