Broadband coming to these rural Snohomish County locales

VERLOT — More rural locations in East Snohomish County will soon have access to high-speed broadband internet.

On Wednesday, the Snohomish County Council approved contracts with Ziply Fiber for projects near Verlot and Index. The two projects will cost the county a little over $4.3 million. Ziply Fiber is investing slightly over $1.3 million in the project, as well.

This will bring service to about 1,000 locations that do not currently have access to broadband.

Outside of homes, internet will also go to “Community Anchor Institutions” such as libraries, fire stations and medical facilities.

Nice as my Mom and Dad both used the Internet in Town (only access before fiber came to their neck of the woods) to do their businesses as needed online ... of course back then, most of the Country wasn't 100% up on the Internet yet, and the big boom in web sites, etc. wasn't yet there.

Now of course, the Internet is pretty much everywhere!
