Not sure it’ll be much more than a statement for Seattle proper. The datacenters are already a few hundred miles away in the center of Washington state. If they want to build more (and they do) they will be out there.
From what I’ve heard, Vancouver is in a similar boat as Seattle and we’re seeing proposals for two datacenters in the middle of the city.

I want more infrastructure in Canada, but the location choice is still weird. It might be a good thing if this law will incentivize companies to take that into account.
Yeah, that’s how it is here in Kansas City.
It’s not feasible to build a data center in the metro, but you can go 20-30 miles out and they’re in the process of being built, including one in my hometown. I hate that I’m stuck rooting for an economic crash in order to stop all this, because we know definitively that our elected representatives don’t represent us.
Bros ! we are winning.
S&P will NOT be changing their inclusion rules for MegaCap IPOs like SpaceX.
This means the earliest SpaceX could be eligible to join the S&P 500 is June 2027.

Space x (xAi), openai and anthropic are about to raid your 401k retirement money though their IPOs. They rigged acceptance rules in march: learn more: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/spacex-ipo-could-hit-popular-101500534.html?guccounter=1
I thought they were successful in changing the inclusio rules? Good news if not but i thought it was pretty settled
Great symbolism however even big tech can’t afford real estate in Seattle.
This is like the moon banning racism.
I’m not sure they want to build them in a city. It’s cheaper to buy land elsewhere adjacent to cities with the infrastructure to support them and cheaper property. Seattle has on of the most expensive property markets in the US. Eastern Washington is a better bet.
Somehow Canada’s telecom sector is trying to put a massive one in downtown Vancouver.
