Mayor Katie B. Wilson announces new support for neighborhood grocery stores

Increased support through the Office of Economic Development helps neighborhood grocery stores with expert data, technical assistance, and improved storefront security.

 Seattle, WA – Today, Mayor Katie B. Wilson announced new support measures directed to local neighborhood grocery stores. This new support includes the commission of a retail study specifically for grocery retailers, a program to support a cohort of local grocers with industry specific technical assistance, and dedicated funds for storefront security enhancements. The result will be more grocery stores can grow and succeed in communities that are underserved by food retailers. Mayor Wilson has approved $1.7 million and directed the Office of Economic Development to stand up these new support services and administer the programs.

“Every person deserves to have access to fresh, healthy food,” said Mayor Katie B. Wilson. “We are supporting local grocers because neighborhood stores play a vital role in making our city more affordable and livable. For working families underserved by large retailers, and the small, family-owned markets that are cornerstones of our communities, we are investing in a future where everyone can access the food they need.”

As a pilot, OED is working with Lam’s Seafood Asian Market, a family-owned grocer that has served the Chinatown-International District since the 1990s. As Lam’s prepares to open its third location, OED supported the business through permit navigation, helped cover the cost of repairs following recent break-ins, and is now scoping facade and security improvements ahead of the store’s upcoming opening. The successful pilot allowed the City to form these support services on a scale that will support more grocery stores with more meaningful services. 

“With support from the City of Seattle, we’re excited to bring Lam’s Seafood Asian Market to Rainier Valley and fill a grocery site that has been vacant for 8 years. As a community-focused independent grocer, our goal has always been to bring high quality, culturally relevant foods to our community and this is the perfect site to do so,” said David Tran, owner of Lam’s Seafood Asian Market. “The City will help fund essential security upgrades to assist us in creating a brighter, more welcoming storefront for our customers and prevent break-ins and vandalism.”

Next steps

OED will deploy resources for both independent grocers and larger supermarkets across Seattle.

Independent Grocers Alliance (IGA) will conduct a series of grocery store market analyses in eight neighborhoods. These studies will analyze the uncaptured market potential for a new grocery store and determine which types of grocery retail are best suited for different neighborhoods based on each community’s needs and existing access to food. The studies will inform and support a grocery attraction strategy to help grocery stores expand into underserved communities.

Ten independently owned grocery stores will receive a year of industry-specific technical assistance provided by IGA, paired with funding for essential improvements. This paired strategy will equip grocery stores with training and operational efficiencies to adjust to the rapid increases in cost and changing consumer behavior. Priority will go to legacy grocery stores and stores in underserved neighborhoods.

Expanding on the success of the partnership pilot with Lam’s Seafood Asian Market, OED will create a one-time grocery store-specific arm of the Back to Business Program tailored to the needs of grocery stores, with the goal of improving safety and the experience for customers and employees. OED will partner with supermarkets experiencing high rates of retail theft to fund one-time security and facility upgrades, consistent with Crime Prevention by Environmental Design principles. Project selection will be informed by crime data from Seattle Police Department and input from community partners.

“Securing our grocery stores not only ensures better access to food, but it makes our neighborhoods safer and more vibrant,” said Beto Yarce, Director for OED. “Grocery stores and food businesses are often the anchor that attracts other small businesses and entrepreneurs to take a chance and open nearby. This kind of collaboration boosts economic activity for all neighborhood businesses and lifts everyone up at the same time.” 

 OED is finalizing details about contracting, cohort selection, and distribution of funding for the new grocery storefront security grants. More announcements will be made in the months to come.

What People Are Saying 

Councilmember Rob Saka, District 1
“Reliable access to healthy and affordable food is critical for safe, healthy, and vibrant neighborhoods. For too long, residents in communities like Delridge, South Park, Georgetown, and others have had to travel long distances just to buy groceries. This is an inequity that has limited families’ ability to plan their weekly shopping and meet their basic needs. This new investment, driven directly by a Council budget action that I supported, represents a bold and tangible step toward closing that gap. This is an immediate and actionable way to address food deserts by helping attract grocery stores and expand access to fresh, affordable food in the neighborhoods that need it most. I look forward to continuing this work and ensuring that every community has the reliable food access it deserves”

Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck, Citywide
“Every neighborhood should have a small independent grocery store that knows what its neighbors love and keeps it on the shelf. Every community deserves a store that carries the one thing you can’t get outside the old country. Investing in these stores is how we show up for the small businesses that keep us fed and make it feel like we all have a place at the table.”

Detective Josh Velliquette, General Investigations Unit – Retail Theft, Seattle Police Department
“Grocery stores are among the most open and high-traffic retail environments in the city, serving thousands of customers every single day. They are intentionally built to be accessible, with locations in convenient arterials and designed with multiple entry and exit points to make it easy for residents to access food and other goods. Unfortunately, this approach also creates potential security vulnerabilities for retail theft, which impacts the well-being of customers and staff and strains businesses financially. The Seattle Police Department is looking forward to working with the Office of Economic Development and grocery retailers to make shopping for groceries safer and help reduce retail crime citywide.“

John Ross, President & CEO at IGA
“IGA has supported independent grocers for 100 years. Our partnership with the City of Atlanta, Invest Atlanta, and Savi Provisions to launch Azalea Fresh Market showed what public/private partnerships can do to improve community food access. Now, we’re bringing this expertise to our partnership with Seattle by first pairing technical assistance with market analysis to help a ten-store cohort of independent grocers stabilize and grow, then identifying market opportunities to attract new grocers to underserved areas. We’re excited to help strengthen the Seattle independent grocer community while ensuring that fresh, healthy food is within reach of all Seattle residents. “

Huawei Introduces OceanStor M900 Context Memory Storage to Accelerate AI Inference in Hyperscale Data Centers

SHANGHAI, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, David Wang, Deputy Chairman of the Board and Rotating Chairman at Huawei, officially introduced OceanStor M900 Context Memory Storage during his keynote. Designed for AI inference in hyperscale data centers, the product provides SuperPoDs with a fully shared memory space that offers PB-scale capacity and TB/s-level performance. This marks a shift in AI infrastructure from a compute-centric model to deep collaboration among compute, network, and storage. This will help unleash the computing power of SuperPoDs.

2026 has seen the accelerated transition of AI from technological breakthroughs to large-scale implementation. AI applications have evolved from chatbots to agents capable of autonomously completing complex tasks. These agents are widely adopted in critical sectors, marking the beginning of the agentic AI era.

As large models grow to 10 trillion-scale parameters, SuperPoDs are becoming the optimal choice for AI infrastructure. Mainstream large models already support context windows exceeding one million tokens, multi-turn inference and complex tasks have become the norm, and KV cache data generated during inference continues to grow. These trends have pushed on-chip memory and DRAM beyond their limits in capacity and cost-effectiveness. It has become an industry consensus to build a multi-tier storage system that coordinates on-chip memory, DRAM, and SSDs to create a fully shared memory space with massive capacity.

Huawei introduced OceanStor M900 Context Memory Storage to overcome the memory capacity bottlenecks in ultra-long context and multi-turn inference. OceanStor M900 uses the UnifiedBus network to build PB-scale, global multi-tier KV cache with one-hop connections. This fully unleashes the computing power potential of SuperPoDs and accelerates AI inference in hyperscale data centers. OceanStor M900 Context Memory Storage has three key capabilities:

Breaking Capacity Boundaries to Empower Large-Scale AI with Massive Memory

Powered by the high-speed UnifiedBus interconnect network, the KV cache achieves global pooling and sharing with tiered storage. The KV cache of SuperPoDs is expanded from on-chip memory and DRAM to SSDs, enabling a single cluster to deliver 64 PB of capacity. The available KV cache capacity per NPU is upgraded from gigabytes to terabytes, allowing more context to be stored, shared, and reused. This significantly boosts the KV cache hit ratio.

Boosting Inference Performance to Fully Unleash Computing Power

OceanStor M900 is the industry’s first architecture to integrate the CPU, network controller unit, and NAND controller unit. It provides native KV semantics to enable one-hop connection from the SuperPoD’s NPU to SSDs. This eliminates the need for protocol conversion and CPU forwarding, slashing access latency from milliseconds to 60 microseconds, a 90% reduction. A single cluster delivers 40 TB/s of aggregate access bandwidth, 1.5 times higher than peer solutions. In typical AI programming scenarios, this architecture doubles the inference cluster’s token throughput and halves the time to first token, converting computing power into productivity.

Lowering Token Costs to Enable  Economical Large-Scale AI Adoption

OceanStor M900 uses the industry’s first KV-aware adaptive storage technology, which predicts KV cache lifecycles based on data value and intelligently distributes data across storage media. This technology enables up to 24 drive writes per day (DWPD), extending SSD endurance by 16 times and ensuring stability for three years. By reducing media replacement and O&M costs, it lowers the long-term costs of large-scale AI inference infrastructure and enables faster AI adoption.

As AI expands into major production systems in all manner of industries, AI infrastructure is evolving from a compute-centric model toward tighter compute-network-storage collaboration. Context memory storage will be essential for continually enhancing the capacity and access efficiency of hyperscale inference KV caches.
