Data Center & Colocation Hosting in Washington

Low-cost hydroelectric power in the Pacific Northwest with world-class connectivity

Washington State offers some of the lowest electricity rates in the nation, powered primarily by the Columbia River hydroelectric system. The state's abundant clean energy has attracted major tech companies and data center operators to the region, particularly in central Washington where wholesale power rates are among the most competitive anywhere. With a temperate climate that reduces cooling costs and robust fiber connectivity through Seattle's internet exchange points, Washington presents an ideal environment for both Bitcoin mining and AI/HPC deployments.
