Host your servers in Quincy, WA — 10–20ms from Seattle, on Grant County PUD fiber. Rack space from $85/mo. No egress fees. No contracts. The person who answers the phone runs the network.
Seattle data centers are expensive because of what surrounds them — commercial real estate, labor costs, metro power rates. Quincy has the same fiber, the same PNW backbone, and none of that overhead.
Seattle facilities charge $150–$350/mo for 1U. We charge $85/mo founder or $110 standard. The hardware is the same. The location is the difference.
Quincy to Seattle is 10–20ms round-trip. For 99% of workloads — web servers, databases, game servers, backup targets — this is functionally identical to being in Seattle.
Grant County PUD delivers Columbia River hydroelectric power at some of the lowest commercial rates in the US. That's why the hyperscalers built here. It's why our pricing is different.
We're ISP-operated on PUD fiber. Bandwidth is included. $0 per GB, no overages, no surprises — ever. Seattle facilities often meter bandwidth or charge for egress separately.
Month-to-month on every service. Founder pricing locks your rate for 24 months, but there's no term commitment. If it's not working, you take your hardware back.
Call 509-906-1250 and you reach the person managing the facility. No ticket queue, no call center, no support tier that doesn't know where your server actually is.

Columbia Colocation is operated by Crescent Bar Internet, LLC — a veteran-owned ISP serving Grant County on Grant County PUD's fiber network. We provide internet service to residential and business customers throughout the area, and our colocation facility runs as an extension of that ISP.
When you colocate with us, your hardware connects through our routers and equipment onto the same PUD fiber your neighbors use. That's the local latency advantage — you're not routing through a distant data center, you're on the same network infrastructure as the rest of Grant County.
We're a small, focused operation. You deal directly with our team — not a support queue. On-site visits are by appointment; for most situations, remote access or a quick call gets things sorted.
