PUD line crews are gearing up to hang fiber on power poles running across the Bolton Peninsula beginning in early-July!
Sign-ups in the pink area have been strong from the start, so make sure to let any neighbors know that they need to register ASAP if they want to have fiber installed at no cost. Over 44% of area residents are already on board.
More than 40% of area residents are already on board with PUD Fiber! Register today for no-charge fiber construction to the home before we reach the 60% threshold!
Construction for customers within the Discovery Bay East Project is likely to begin in spring of 2024. Here's the full update.

Port Townsend Business Fiber buildout is coming soon and registration is open. PT Fiber is made possible thanks to a super low-interest loan making fiber to the business affordable, with a one-time construction fee of $1200 (which can be spread over a 3-year period in billing). Gig speed-plus packages are available and affordable from your local utility!
Read MoreCouple things to clarify after yesterday's email.
- If you received the email, you are registered for one of our funded areas.
- If you signed up very early (September- December 2022) but did not receive an email, you are still on our list. We had some technical issues and we're working on adding the early sign ups on to the email chain soon.
That question, of course, is when will you get fiber? Right now, we are estimating home (or business) fiber installations will begin in and around Quilcene and Discovery Bay later this summer. It will take over 1 year to connect everyone in the project area. We are not far enough along in planning to say when during that year a specific neighborhood might get connected. We hope to have some of that info in the next few months. In the next few months, we also expect to have better info on when construction will begin in our other funded project areas.
After more than nine months of waiting, the PUD now has signed contracts on all of our grant and loan funded projects. What does that mean for you? It means we can finally begin spending some of the $25M we've been awarded to build fiber to your homes and businesses.
