(December 5, 2025) – Ripple Fiber will begin construction in the coming weeks on a $250 million network expansion into Washington State. The move marks the company's entrance into Washington and will be "the first step in bringing high-speed fiber internet service to over 200,000 homes in areas of Grays Harbor County and King County," according to a press release. Ripple Fiber expects to launch service for initial customers in early Q1 2026. Ripple Fiber, an ISP founded in 2021 and based in North Carolina, entered a partnership with investment firm Post Road Group in 2024 to fund the company's planned expansion to 400,000 locations by the end of 2025. The company announced in May that it secured a "significant expansion of its existing credit facility to $350 million," led and arranged by Post Road Group.
