More Spokane County Families and Businesses Get Connected

Comcast has completed a significant broadband expansion in Spokane County, bringing high-speed, symmetrical Internet access to more than 2,200 homes and businesses in Chattaroy, Four Lakes, and Medical Lake. For many residents, this isn’t just a technology upgrade, it’s access to opportunity.

Why This Matters for Spokane County

Reliable, high-speed internet is no longer a luxury. It’s essential infrastructure that is as important as roads, water, and electricity. For Spokane County residents, this expansion means:

• Students can fully participate in digital learning without buffering, lagging, or competing for bandwidth.
• Remote workers can stay connected to employers anywhere in the country.
• Local businesses can compete and grow with secure, high-capacity connectivity.
• Families can stream, game, and video chat seamlessly, even with multiple devices online at once.

“I want to give a huge thank you to Comcast and all who were involved in bringing this vital service to more areas of Spokane County,” said Josh Kerns, Spokane County Commissioner, District 3. “Families, students, and businesses will benefit greatly from this expanded broadband access. This was a team effort that will build on the work we’ve already done to make Spokane County the best place to live, work, and raise a family.”

“The City of Medical Lake is thrilled to have Comcast as a partner offering high speed internet options in our community,” said Mayor Terri Cooper, City of Medical Lake. “This is a real game changer for families and businesses in and around our city.”

“Comcast is committed to expanding reliable, high-speed broadband to more residents and businesses across Spokane County,” said Keith Turner, Senior Vice President for Comcast’s Pacific Northwest Region. “This milestone reflects a true community collaboration. By bringing Xfinity Internet with high-speed connectivity, we’re providing families, students, and local businesses with the tools they need to thrive in today’s digital economy.”

Comcast now offers its full suite of residential services in these newly connected Spokane County communities. In areas that have historically been underserved, access to modern broadband can directly impact property values, economic development, healthcare access, and educational outcomes. This expansion helps close that gap.

• Xfinity Internet: Fast, Reliable, and Built for Modern Homes: With gig speeds and 99.9% reliability, Xfinity Internet is designed to power everything from 4K streaming and gaming to video conferencing and smart home devices, all at the same time.
• Xfinity Mobile: Reliable Connectivity at Home and On the Go: Xfinity Mobile delivers fast speeds nationwide, and new customers can receive a year of service free when signing up for a qualifying Xfinity Internet plan.
• Xfinity X1: Entertainment in One Place: X1 brings together live TV, streaming apps, sports, and on-demand content on one easy-to-use platform.

Residents who are newly eligible for service have been notified and can sign up online at Xfinity.com or visit one of four Xfinity Store locations in Spokane County.

Supporting Spokane County Businesses

The expansion also benefits local employers. Through Comcast Business, companies of all sizes now have access to secure, scalable connectivity solutions, including advanced networking, cloud connectivity, SD-WAN, and unified communications. For small businesses in communities like Medical Lake, Four Lakes and Chattaroy, this means the ability to:

• Process transactions more reliably
• Support hybrid or remote employees
• Improve cybersecurity protections
• Scale operations without relocating

Part of a Larger Investment in Washington

This Spokane County expansion is part of Comcast’s broader commitment to Washington state. Over the past three years, Comcast has invested approximately $1.2 billion in network technology and infrastructure statewide. That investment has brought access to Xfinity and Comcast Business services to nearly three million Washington homes and businesses.

But the commitment goes beyond infrastructure. Through programs like Internet Essentials, Comcast provides low-cost broadband and affordable computers to eligible households, while partnering locally to expand digital skills training and WiFi-connected Lift Zones. For Spokane County residents, that means more neighbors have the tools they need to participate fully in school, work, healthcare, and civic life.

Building a More Connected Spokane County

As Spokane County continues to grow and attract families, entrepreneurs, and new industries, modern broadband infrastructure will play a central role in its future. This expansion ensures that more residents in Chattaroy, Four Lakes, and Medical Lake are not left behind, but instead are fully connected to opportunity.
