The year 2017 in Oregon involved several major events.

In the spring, the population of pyrosomes off the coast of Oregon peaked, and scientists began studying why their population exploded starting about two years prior. From mid-August to early September, a dead zone spread off the coast of the state, causing crabs and other marine life to suffocate.
