The last colocated servers are moving out Thursday night, so the lights will go out in Bothell. Three months and three days ago we unveiled our planned move to the world, and as of tomorrow night, it will be essentially complete. Much work remains, as we must fully decommission the old datacenter (which will continue all this month), but operationally the Bothell facility will close in the wee hours of Friday morning, March 11, 2005.

The Bothell facility has been our home for seven of our almost eleven years of operation, so in some ways this is a milestone. However our new facility in Seattle is so much better - several orders of magnitude better - that we have no regrets in leaving Bothell behind.

We'll post photos of the final moves and decommissioning soon.
