Data center protesters rally outside Amazon open house near Tri-Cities

Amazon Web Services held an open house for its proposed data center complex at Wallula Gap in Walla Walla County, Washington. The project faces significant opposition from the Walla Walla Anti Data Center League, which is pushing for a one-year moratorium and a full environmental impact statement due to concerns about water usage, power, and transparency. The county is currently reviewing Amazon's application, which was initially deemed incomplete.

No data center moratorium for Richland. Here’s why they can’t

Richland city officials state they cannot adopt a data center moratorium due to an existing option agreement with Atlas Agro North America to sell land for a proposed data center. This decision comes despite strong public opposition and Pasco City Council approving its own six-month moratorium. The city, however, plans to include safeguards in any future purchase agreement with Atlas Agro.
