OLYMPIA, WA — The Washington State Broadband Office today opened the application period for $1.2 billion in federal Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) funding intended to bridge the digital divide in Washington by bringing high-speed internet to everyone.
“These federal funds, made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, recognize and boost the work Washington state has been doing for years to expand equitable access to high-speed internet,” said Gov. Jay Inslee. “Now the Department of Commerce is going to put these dollars to work connecting Washingtonians across the state to broadband, with all the opportunities this technology brings. I would like to thank the Biden-Harris Administration, Secretary Raimondo, and our Congressional Delegation for these historic investments.”
