Columbia Colocation is roughly 140 miles southwest of Spokane, in Quincy, WA — closer to Spokane than Seattle is, at a measured 8ms, on Grant County PUD hydro power. Rack space starts at $85/mo (founder), $0 setup, and real bandwidth included — not nickel-and-dimed by the gigabyte.
Spokane has a smaller pool of retail colocation providers than the big West Coast metros, and published rate cards are hard to find. Here's how Columbia Colocation stacks up against typical regional secondary-market pricing.

Quincy is actually closer to Spokane than it is to Seattle. For the workloads most people colocate — storage, backups, dev/staging, game servers, internal apps — a measured 8ms makes zero functional difference versus a Spokane-local facility.
8ms is a measured ping figure from our network to Spokane. Actual latency to your specific location may vary slightly depending on routing — contact us and we'll run a fresh traceroute/ping test to your exact location before you commit to anything.

Grant County PUD provides some of the lowest-cost hydroelectric power in the nation. That's why the hyperscalers are here. Your colocated hardware benefits from the same grid.
