Washington Town Sees Economic Boom From Data Centers + Seattle Democrats Move To Reduce Crime

A Washington lawmaker says data centers have transformed Quincy, creating jobs, lowering poverty, funding major infrastructure projects, and contributing more than half of the city's tax base. Supporters argue the community offers a real-world example of how data center development can benefit taxpayers and local economies. Meanwhile, Seattle leaders are moving forward with a new strategy to address crime and violence along Aurora Avenue after months of complaints from residents and business owners. The plan includes street closures and increased enforcement as concerns about shootings, prostitution, and human trafficking continue. The show also examines Washington's Supreme Court races, where five seats are on the ballot this year. One candidate discusses judicial precedent, constitutional interpretation, and how future income tax challenges could eventually reach the state's highest court. #WashingtonPolitics #DataCenters #SeattleCrime #IncomeTax #WashingtonSupremeCourt #PublicSafety #EconomicDevelopment #Taxpayer #AuroraAvenue #WashingtonState #BusinessClimate #TheCenterSquare #WashingtonNews #GovernmentAccountability #Crime
