It sounds exactly like "organ".

Next, be sure to say Will-AAAA-met river, not WIL-a-met river.

After that, be sure to refer to Oregonians, not Oregoners.

Beyond that, as resident of Eugene, I only go to Portland to visit Powell's, so I have no idea what else the town might have to offer that can't already be found in Eugene.
