Ripple Fiber has begun construction in Washington with a 126-mile fiber build in Ocean Shores, the first city in the state to break ground.
This deployment marks the initial phase of the provider’s broader $250 million investment to deliver fiber internet to more than 200,000 homes and businesses across Grays Harbor County and King County. Ripple Fiber anticipates launching service to its first Washington customers within the first quarter of 2026.
“Residents have been actively engaged”
“Ripple Fiber is excited to bring world-class fiber connectivity to Ocean Shores. Our network will expand digital access across the community, providing high-speed fiber internet to over 10,000 households and businesses,” said Mitzi McMahan, director of government affairs at Ripple Fiber. “The city has provided valuable guidance throughout the process, and residents have been actively engaged, highlighting our shared dedication to delivering resilient, future-ready infrastructure that supports work, education, and everyday life.”
Following shortly after Ocean Shores, residents in Federal Way can expect to see construction crews begin work in the coming weeks. Throughout this project, Ripple Fiber remains focused on increasing digital access and providing more internet options, actively exploring expansion opportunities in the surrounding areas. With the start of the construction phase, Ripple Fiber plans to open an office and employ locally within the community to ensure an enhanced customer experience and demonstrate its commitment to establishing a strong local presence in each market.
With Ripple Fiber’s 10 gig, 100 percent fiber optic infrastructure, residents will have access to a strong, dependable network that will power communities for decades to come. Whether using Wi-Fi for remote work, online learning, gaming, or video streaming, customers can expect exceptional bandwidth and symmetrical upload and download speeds. Known for transparent pricing without contracts or hidden fees, the provider offers multiple package options, with three core products leading the way—500 Mbps, 1 Gig, and 2 Gig.
While many have already begun receiving direct updates from Ripple Fiber, homeowners within the current build area can expect to see mailed letters and door hangers sharing more information about what to expect during the construction process.
