Map sources and method

The state outline is adapted from the U.S. Census Bureau 2025 cartographic boundary file. Facility coordinates are adapted from Compute Atlas by Edward Kubiak, edition 1.33.0, under CC BY 4.0. Outline and markers use one geographic projection before any explicitly disclosed readability offset. Exact singleton source anchors are never moved. A one-kilometre boundary tolerance prevents the simplified 1:20,000,000 outline from hiding legitimate border-area source points; farther conflicts are disclosed, not clamped. DataCenterData groups source-reported city coordinates only within a bounded map radius; the outline does not validate a facility record.

Where the records were checked

Statewide audit pending

A few checked sites

This is not a list of every data center in the state, and the number here is not a count of them. There are almost certainly more.

Statewide coverage is not complete. The records below are sourced; a full statewide count has not been published.

State research audit window ended 12 September 2026. Individual records and claims below show their own evidence dates and may be newer.

Next scheduled review: 16 March 2027.

3 independently source-linked project/campus records; 2 independently source-linked facility/building records; 0 attributed or unresolved rows. These counts use different units and must not be added together.

Source families checked, selected records and remaining gaps

These notes name selected records, say which kinds of public evidence were checked and show what remains missing. They do not add anything to the published counts.

  • economic development incentives — Partly checked
    • The Department of Revenue's exemption eligibility page could not be retrieved during review, so the program's criteria and any participant information were not read.
    • No participant or certificate list was located: the exemption's accountability data is filed through annual tax performance reports under RCW 82.32.534, which were not obtained, so no individual exemption recipient is named in the current research record.
    • RCW 82.08.986 and Substitute Senate Bill 6231 on expiring data center exemptions were seen only in search results and were not yet reviewed directly.

    Selected records

  • utility commission large load — Partly checked
    • chelanpud.org could not be retrieved during review, so no PUD primary record was read.
    • No Grant County PUD or Douglas County PUD commission agenda, minutes, rate schedule or service agreement was obtained.
    • No Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission docket was searched; the current review did not include a broad discovery sweep before that family could be worked.
    • The 2022 Puget Sound Energy interconnection filing said to describe a 958 MW Goldendale data center was not located or read.

    Selected records

  • environmental construction permits — Checked
    • Ecology's list covers only facilities Ecology itself regulates; the page states it is not a complete list of every data center in Washington and directs readers to local clean air agencies for other counties. No local clean air agency (for example Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency or Benton Clean Air Agency) was searched.
    • The current Microsoft Columbia order 25AQ-E009 was not read; the order read for that site, 22AQ-E006, is listed as rescinded.
    • Approval orders for the East Wenatchee, Cle Elum, Ellensburg, Moses Lake and Olympia sites were not downloaded; those research leads rest on the Ecology list entry alone.
    • No water withdrawal, discharge, stormwater or building permit record was searched for any Washington data center.

    Selected records

  • municipal planning assessor gis — Partly checked
    • No county assessor or GIS parcel record was queried anywhere in Washington; every parcel-level fact in the current research record comes from a permit or a dataset, not an assessor.
    • No City of Quincy, Grant County, Douglas County, Chelan County or Pierce County planning or council record was searched.
    • The Walla Walla County staff report, SEPA checklist and site plan behind SDP26-01 were not obtained, so no parcel number, building count or capacity figure is available for that project.
    • The City of Cle Elum data center ban and the Blue Fern development agreement were not read.

    Selected records

  • tax abatement development agreements — Partly checked
    • No port, city or county agreement document was retrieved for any Washington site.
    • The Port of Walla Walla resolution approving the Amazon land sale was not located; it is known only through the county FAQ and the dataset.
    • The City of Richland option agreement for the Atlas Agro campus was not obtained.
    • the current review did not include a broad discovery sweep before this family could be searched directly; the one logged query was run while reviewing Oregon and surfaced the Port of Walla Walla overview document.

    Selected records

  • operator disclosures — Partly checked
    • No hyperscaler or colocation operator location page was opened for Washington (Microsoft, Amazon, Sabey, Vantage, CyrusOne, H5, NTT DATA, Serverfarm, Centeris, Digital Realty).
    • The Bitdeer Form 20-F property section was not read.
    • the current review did not include a broad discovery sweep before this family could be searched directly.

    Selected records

  • open datasets directories — Checked
    • Nine Salcido Enterprises crypto-mining records across Grant, Chelan and Douglas Counties were reviewed in the extract table and left out as crypto mining with no evidenced AI or HPC conversion; only one crypto site (Merkle Standard Usk) was carried forward as an explicit rejection.
    • Three power_generation records in the extract (Energy Northwest Cascade Advanced Energy Facility, Goldendale Energy Storage Project, Helion Orion) were reviewed and left out as generation projects rather than data centers.
    • Seattle, Tukwila and Spokane colocation records (Digital Realty SEA1, Sabey Intergate.East Buildings 1 and 5, Sabey Intergate.West Buildings A and C, H5 Seattle, Lumen Spokane, TierPoint Spokane) were not individually examined and are not research leads.
    • No directory listing service was consulted in the current review.

    Selected records

  • historical closures withdrawals names — Checked
    • The Giga Watt bankruptcy docket and the Port of Douglas County record of the site's future use were not obtained; the CoinDesk report was not yet reviewed directly.
    • The rescinded Ecology approval orders were not downloaded, so what changed between each order and its replacement is unread.
    • No withdrawn or denied Washington data center land use application was located; the Walla Walla County application was delayed by an incomplete-application notice but not denied.
    • the current review did not include a broad discovery sweep before this family could be searched directly.

    Selected records

  • news and other discovery — Partly checked
    • No systematic Washington news sweep was performed.
    • The Columbia Riverkeeper February 2026 report, cited by the dataset for several Washington capacity figures, was not yet reviewed directly and no figure from it is used.
