Notoriously slow internet gets a boost on Highway 530 corridor

DARRINGTON — A good internet connection is subject to the whims of a local cell tower at Darrington Fire Station No. 38.

The station, Fire Chief Joel Johnson said, is essentially a “glorified hot spot.”

“Even sitting on a Zoom call, it has to be a good day for that to work,” Johnson said.

Through a $17 million federal grant, the fire station — along with a library and 4,000 households — will soon have access to high-speed internet from Ziply Fiber. Done in concert with the Washington State Broadband Office, it will connect people to high-speed fiber internet in the Highway 530 corridor.
