Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
- Under construction
A ~$4.8B data center in Walla Walla County (Wallula), widely reported to be AWS
Underlying source - Proposed
Walla Walla County's own project page and local reporting show the campus is still in permitting, not construction. The county held a pre-application meeting on April 29, 2026, issued a Notice of Incomplete Application on June 23, 2026, and issued a Notice of Complete Application on August 24, 2026 (files SDP26-01 and SEPA26-05). As of September 1, 2026 no final land-use decision has been made and construction has not been initiated. The record's current status, under construction, is not supported by these sources.
Underlying source
Source notes
~$4.8B campus near Wallula, Walla Walla County; operator reported (not officially confirmed) to be AWS, so the record was marked reported. Coordinates are the Wallula area centroid. Operator confirmed as Amazon Data Services when the Port of Walla Walla amended the buyer from Advance Phase LLC to Amazon Data Services (Feb 12, 2026 commission vote; >550 acres for >$36M land) — the record was then marked confirmed. The reported ~$4.8B (DCD) / ~$5B (local) campus figure is an estimate across ~4 phases, not a firm pledge, so no investment figure is recorded. Port projects ~720 direct+indirect jobs at full build-out of its four-phase, 16-building concept (projection), so no jobs figure is recorded; Amazon's FAQ for the three-building application projects 120-150 full-time positions. The application before Walla Walla County (the Amazon Attalia Data Center Campus) covers three buildings of about 220,000 sq ft each on a 134-acre parcel, smaller than the Port's concept, so the land area recorded is that parcel. As of October 2026 no cited source states a capacity figure for the campus, so no planned capacity is recorded. Eligible for Washington's rural-county server-equipment sales/use-tax exemption (RCW 82.08.986) but no DOR certificate is confirmed, so no subsidy is recorded. Amazon's August 2026 community materials describe the cooling as outside air about 93% of the year, with water-based cooling (water-soaked pads) for about 7%, and give the cooling-water source as a new non-potable Columbia River supply system being developed with the Port of Walla Walla, with potable groundwater from the utility as temporary cooling water for about a year while that system is built.
In Pacific Power (PacifiCorp) service territory (utility inferred from territory, not company-confirmed); regional supply is hydro-dominant.
