KENT (Apr. 24, 2025) - In partnership with the city of Kent, WA, Ezee Fiber has started construction in the public rights of way to expand the availability of high-speed Internet services.
Ezee Fiber is now constructing the infrastructure to make its network available to thousands of Kent area homes and businesses, including its full suite of services, like multi-gig broadband speeds for residential and business customers.
With construction expected to continue until 2026, Ezee Fiber is committed to ensuring that homes and businesses will have the foundational next-generation network in place as soon as practical.
Ezee Fiber has created an online resource for residents seeking information about the network construction in their neighborhood, including answers to frequently asked questions and product and services.
In addition, Ezee Fiber has additional methods to get in touch regarding construction activities, noted below:

Residents can expect to see construction in Kent beginning late April. Crews will be working Monday – Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on main roads, and from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on residential streets.
Ezee Fiber will communicate extensively with area residents before construction begins.
Signs will be posted indicating work areas. Temporary road detours may be required, and parking may be restricted in construction zones. Access to properties will be maintained as much as possible during construction. Residents will be notified by Ezee Fiber’s construction contractor, SQUAN, at least 10 days in advance of any temporary road restrictions.
A partnership between Ezee Fiber and the city of Kent, this project is part of the effort to facilitate the expansion of broadband infrastructure. The high-speed internet expansion throughout the Puget Sound region is being funded by Ezee Fiber.
“We're excited to welcome Ezee Fiber to the region, and their decision to locate their headquarters in Kent will bring more good-paying jobs to our city.” said Mayor Dana Ralph. "The addition of a high-speed fiber optic internet service provider and more competition in the market is something we've been looking forward to in Kent."
Ezee Fiber recently announced its plans to invest $400 million in expanding its network in the Puget Sound region and hiring 350 people for sales, customer service, technician and other roles.
“Homeowners and businesses today depend upon the internet to work, play, learn and shop. We are very excited about the future in the greater Puget Sound region, and we are thrilled to begin our significant region growth plan starting in Kent,” said Eddie Abreu, senior vice president and general manager, Pacific Northwest Region, Ezee Fiber.
