the valley is wide and there are flat lands north to Portland, most notably French Prairie (named for French mountain men who settled there) and it's all agriculture now...Woodburn is the main town in that area.

South are the Salem Hills, they provide a break so parts of Salem might get less fog, but south of the hills the valley gets flat again and narrows to Eugene, and there can be lots of fog there! (I live in Portland now, but lived in Eugene & Corvallis several years and have driven up and down the valley I can't remember how many times!)
