Lightcurve Internet has officially begun construction on a new fiber network in Selah, Washington, marking a major step forward in expanding high-speed broadband access across Yakima County. The project will deliver symmetrical internet speeds of up to 2 gigabits per second to approximately 2,900 homes and businesses once completed.
The new fiber infrastructure is designed to meet the increasing demand for reliable, high-capacity connectivity as more residents rely on internet access for remote work, online education, telehealth services, and everyday digital needs. Local businesses are also expected to benefit from faster, more consistent network performance that supports cloud services, data-intensive applications, and modern commerce.
“Selah is a vibrant and active community, and reliable high-speed internet is essential to its continued success,” said Beth Barnes, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Lightcurve Internet. “By expanding our fiber network into Selah, we’re delivering the speed, reliability, and capacity residents and businesses need today, while building infrastructure designed to support the community well into the future.”
Construction crews are already mobilized, and service availability will be introduced in phases as the build progresses. Once the network is fully operational, customers will gain access to symmetrical upload and download speeds, improved latency, and enhanced performance for bandwidth-heavy uses such as video conferencing, streaming, and smart technology applications.
The Selah project is part of Lightcurve’s broader strategy to expand fiber connectivity throughout Central Washington. The company has previously launched fiber service in Ellensburg and recently announced additional network builds in nearby Kittitas County communities, including Thorp and Edgemont. These efforts reflect Lightcurve’s focus on strengthening digital infrastructure in both urban centers and smaller, underserved areas.
Lightcurve’s continued investment in fiber technology underscores its long-term commitment to building resilient, future-ready networks that support economic development, community growth, and improved quality of life throughout Washington state.
