Yes, I have experience with Oregon Spring and the seeds germinate just as well as most other seeds to give healthy plants.

Dr. Jim Baggett of Oregon State University, now retired, bred quite a few varieties to be used in the PNW where springs are cold and so fruit set is not good. All of them are what are called parthenocarpic varieties, which means that fertilization of ovules in the tomato ovary, seeds to be, is bypassed so the fruits develop, sometimes abnormally.

That can mean malformed fruits and/or mealy fruits and in the beginning of the season there are few to no mature seeds within the fruits.

When I grew Oregon Spring that didn't happen, but it just wasn't to my liking re taste.

So by all means do try it and see how it works for you.
