Elected officials unanimously approved a yearlong moratorium on new data centers within Seattle city limits effective immediately at the city council meeting Tuesday, with a potential extension of about six months.

Seattle joins cities like Denver, CO, Baltimore, MD, Atlanta, GA and Minneapolis, MN, and at least three jurisdictions around the Puget Sound region that have passed similar legislation.
