It all comes back to the people
We firmly acknowledge that broadband is now an essential utility, akin to the indispensable services that preceded it. We firmly believe that every community should have access to this utility, as it significantly enhances quality of life, impacting areas such as health, safety, business, and education. We understand the profound impact this has at the individual level, where access has the power to transform lives. These values drive our organization forward to advocate for Washington’s communities.
