Washington State and Oregon have emerged as premier locations for hyperscale data centers, offering a compelling combination of economic and environmental benefits.
Over the past five years, the region has experienced significant growth in data center infrastructure, driven by hyperscalers seeking to leverage the area’s low-cost, renewable hydroelectric power, which aligns with their sustainability goals.
Both states offer attractive tax incentives, including property and sales tax exemptions, that have further stimulated development. The Pacific Northwest’s temperate climate provides natural advantages for efficient cooling, reducing operational costs, while its strategic proximity to major West Coast technology hubs ensures strong connectivity and access to critical networks. This combination of factors has made Washington and Oregon key drivers in the expansion of hyperscale operations.
