Council Votes on Data Center Ban Today, Wilson Activates Stadium Cameras, and Condos for Cars?!
Today on the podcast, host Jane C. Hu is joined by contributor Hannah Krieg and guest Adam Willems, co-founder of CHUM news, to talk about surveillance, data centers, and test their general Seattle news knowledge in a new quiz. First, Adam shares what he learned about the forthcoming data center moratorium being voted on this afternoon in his reporting for The Guardian. He explains the last-minute amendment passed last week, which allows existing datacenters in Seattle to apply for expansions to their power usage, up to 20 megawatts of additional power, during the moratorium. Then Jane and Hannah break down the “general but credible threat” that Mayor Katie Wilson says led her administration to turn on surveillance cameras in the Stadium district ahead of the World Cup, and what it means for the city’s approach to surveillance. Finally, how well do you know our city’s recent headlines? Jane created a news quiz to test your Seattle knowledge against two local journalists.
