Quincy, like The Dalles, is located near the Columbia River, and is an hour drive to the Grand Coulee, Chief Joseph, Wanapum, Rock Island, and Rocky Reach hydroelectric dams. Electricity in central Washington is very inexpensive. Since that article was written, Dell, Yahoo, Vantage, and Sabey have all constructed data centers in the Quincy area.
