Verizon recently turned on new cell sites in Seattle, Fernwood, Auburn, Redmond, Lacey, and Lake Tapps, WA, bringing reliable 4G and high-speed 5G Ultra Wideband service to residents and visitors. Whether enjoying connecting with friends and family while on the move, connecting their smart homes through Verizon Home Internet, or using Verizon service for small business or enterprise applications, Verizon customers in the Seattle-Tacoma area just got a big boost. In the downtown Seattle area of Belltown, a new site will offer added coverage and capacity near some of the busy tourist, commercial, and residential areas.

In Fernwood, one of the region's fastest growing areas, the new site will help support new developments in the area. In Auburn, two new sites will provide coverage and capacity to the industrial and business complexes near Emerald Downs and along Highway 167. A new site in Redmond will help fill a service gap in the northern residential neighborhoods, extending network coverage and relieving surrounding cell sites.

A new site in Lacey, along I-5, is providing much-needed additional capacity and coverage for this busy shopping area. A new site just north of Lake Tapps will help relieve the surrounding sites during the busy summer months while providing improved capacity in the area's residential neighborhoods. This work is part of Verizon's massive multi-year network transformation which has not only brought 5G service to more than 230 million people and 5G home internet service to more than 40 million households, but has also added more capabilities, upgraded the technology in the network, paved the way for personalized customer experiences and provided a platform for enterprises and developers to drive innovation.
