After You Receive Your Badge
As you are driving north on Route 4 to Columbia Generating Station, you will see an Energy Northwest sign with arrows. Continue straight past this sign, following the arrow to Columbia Generating Station.
Keep going straight (about two miles) until you come to another Energy Northwest sign that says Columbia Generating Station. Take this right-hand turn. Once you turn right, you will be on the main access road. You will see Columbia Generating Station and a security checkpoint directly ahead of you.
The security checkpoint building is no longer being staffed. Temporary traffic barrels and signage have been set up while we transition to a new inbound traffic lane. When entering the site, follow the traffic revision postings as instructed and be aware of traffic control personnel during this transition.
PLEASE NOTE: Energy Northwest corporate and most other facilities are in the vicinity of the Columbia Generating Station nuclear power plant. This is a high-security area with a security checkpoint when entering and leaving. The following items are prohibited in this area: explosives, incendiary devices, alcoholic beverages, marijuana, illegal drugs, controlled substances without prescription, firearms, ammunition, chemical agents, self-defense sprays (such as mace, pepper spray etc.), Tasers and other self-defense items. Violators are subject to criminal prosecution.
Please check your vehicle for any of these prohibited items BEFORE driving to any Energy Northwest property. After the security check is completed, continue to the Deschutes Building by following the road and park anywhere you can find a spot. The Deschutes entrance is right under the building sign that says "Energy Northwest" (by the flagpole).
Feel free to use the phone provided in the lobby to call your department contact to meet you at the door if you do not have a phone on you. If you are unable to reach the person you are calling, you may call the Human Resources general line at ext. 5840.
