$16M grant to speed up broadband to north Snohomish County
A collaboration between county government and internet provider Ziply Fiber aims to expand high-speed internet access to businesses and thousands of residents along Highway 530.
The county announced the partnership last week along with a $16.7 million grant from the state Department of Commerce Broadband Office.
The grant will help pay to build a fiber network from Arlington to Darrington.
The project promises to provide direct connections to nearly 5,600 locations, offering internet speeds of at least 100 Mbps download and upload speeds. The first customers could get connected January 2024, according to the county.
