Record Notes

Google's data center campus in The Dalles, Oregon is one of the company's oldest and largest US facilities. Located on the Columbia River, the campus benefits from cheap hydroelectric power from the Bonneville Power Administration and excellent fiber connectivity. The facility hosts Google Search backend infrastructure and serves as a significant node for Google Cloud's US West region, including AI inference for Vertex AI and Gemini-powered services. The Dalles hosts multiple buildings added over nearly two decades of continuous expansion. Google also draws on Columbia River water for cooling, a practice that has drawn community scrutiny given the river's ecological importance. The campus covers approximately 30 acres of buildings with additional land reserved for expansion.
