◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You need to watch for how the final Klickitat County data center ordinance shapes access and siting rules because moratoriums won’t stop projects but new zoning could define who wins access to large-scale power. If you supply data center infrastructure or services in Washington, this is your chance to align early with local rules shaping market entry.
