Grant PUD and Washington State Broadband Office launch drive-in Wi-Fi hotspots
*Updated 7/10/2020

This comes at a time when communities need internet the most for school, work and keeping in touch during the COVID-19 pandemic. Last week, nine drive-in Wi-Fi hot spots were deployed to address that effort.
This first wave of installs brought together multiple public and private partners at both the state and local level to address the internet need. Drive-in Wi-Fi hot spots are now located in the following areas:
ACH School District Brick House
312 E Main Street, Coulee City
Blue Heron Park
111 Westshore Dr, Moses Lake
Cascade Valley Park
W. Valley Road, Moses Lake

The signals reach approximately 750 feet allowing for a "drive-in" experience.

There are no passwords needed to access the hotspots and each hotspot can be found by searching for the "homeworkhub" network.All hotspots are up and active.
