📰 News we're reading
• Amazon to host open house on data centers at Enterprise Middle School (yaktrinews.com) — West Richland residents can question Amazon about its possible data center campus at a November 19 open house, from 5–8 p.m. at Enterprise Middle School. Amazon has purchased land, but the project remains in its early stages and has drawn resident opposition. The company is organizing the event, not the city. 
• Restaurants, food truck, bakery fail Tri-Cities restaurant inspections (tri-cityherald.com) — Three West Richland elementary schools—Desert Sky, Tapteal and William Wiley—earned perfect food safety inspection scores on November 6. Across the Tri-Cities area, four inspections received failing grades during the October 31–November 6 reporting period, with violations including unsafe food temperatures and inadequate handwashing. Another 51 inspections passed.
