Good morning, Vancouver.
💼 Business
Costco is being sued in a class action claim that it sold Kirkland tequila as 100% de Agave even though lab tests show the Blanco contains 60—80% agave and the Reposado 5—25% agave.
The suit, filed Friday in federal court in western Washington, says the company made money by misleading buyers and broke the RICO Act.
Vancouver startup PowerLattice—backed by former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger—raised $25 million Monday and moved its headquarters to east Vancouver for growth.
The company developed a tiny chiplet that cuts AI power needs by more than half and said samples are available while big tech will begin using the chiplet by the end of next year.
🎓 Education
Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries launched a Library of Things on November 17, letting resident cardholders borrow tools, instruments, and recreational equipment for three weeks from its online catalog.
Cardholders receive pickup notices at most library locations — the service starts with a $15,000 donation from the Library Foundation.
