Darrington Internet Users Association (DIUA) is honored in receiving its first grant from United Way. This community partnership with North Counties' Community Collaborative will work to increase access to services outside of the Darrington/Arlington area through improved internet connectivity. We will soon begin field testing of equipment with opportunities for the public to see that it is a functional and practical infrastructure. DIUA has raised over $10,000 in funding and is on track to provide high speed internet service to the community by late 2018.
