For Seattle Met magazine, I photographed data centers (and the surrounding infrastructure) with my drone in rural Quincy, Washington, a couple months back. The first data centers in Quincy opened almost 20 years ago, and the facilities now account for the majority of the town’s property tax revenue. I’m always amazed how much these facilities look like motherboards from above…the water tanks look like capacitors, the wire conduits look like traces on a PCB.
Thanks to Jane for the assignment, online and on newsstands now in the Summer 2026 issue of Seattle Met.
