SEATTLE AND WASHINGTON, D.C. — Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has announced an investment up to $50 billion to expand artificial intelligence (AI) and supercomputing abilities for Amazon Web Services (AWS) U.S. government clients. Amazon will break ground beginning next year on advanced data centers that will add 1.3 gigawatts of AI and supercomputing capacity. AWS currently supports more than 11,000 government agencies. The cloud computing software provides security, compliance and governance tools for the government control of unclassified and classified data. The new investment is expected to enable federal government agencies — including defense, healthcare and energy departments — in their discovery and decision-making processes using simulation and modeling data with AI. Amazon’s investment directly supports the Trump Administration’s AI Action Plan outlined in June 2025. “Our investment in purpose-built government AI and cloud infrastructure will fundamentally transform how federal agencies leverage supercomputing,” says Matt Garman, CEO of AWS. “We’re giving agencies expanded access to advanced AI capabilities that will enable them to accelerate critical missions from cybersecurity to drug discovery. This investment removes the technology barriers that have held government back and further positions America to lead in the AI era.” Amazon’s investment is the latest deal in the private sector’s …

— By Jacob Pavlik of Colliers — As big-box retailers scale back or exit the market, a new class of tenants is reshaping the retail landscape across the Puget Sound region. Experiential retail is taking their space and providing destinations for consumers and the experiences they crave. This umbrella term includes concepts that prioritize interaction, entertainment and social connection. This is emerging as a compelling solution for landlords looking to drive foot traffic and re-energize shopping centers. The shift is not accidental. The pandemic disrupted traditional social experiences and accelerated the decline of large-format retail by getting people more accustomed to buying online, even if they “picked up” the item later in a store. Now, with consumers eager to reconnect in person, experiential concepts have gained traction. These tenants often don’t sell goods or services in the conventional sense. Instead, they offer immersive experiences that encourage group participation and repeat visits. Recent examples include Mirra, a 12,000-square-foot social entertainment venue that opened in Bellevue’s Lincoln Square, a mixed-use shopping center with three hotels, and more than 1.2 million square feet of office space. Adjacent to Cinemark Reserve in the South Tower, Mirra offers immersive virtual reality party games and transitions to …
