I can think of a lot of places in WA that need this more urgently than within the city limits of Seattle, however...

Seattle itself is fairly well covered by a combination of centurylink, wave and comcast, depending on the exact location. Big chunks of single family detached housing in Seattle where the centurylink copper cables were >90% aerial have now been overbuilt with gigabit class GPON. In addition to the gigabit MDU/apartment services on offer from wave and competitors.

Olympia. State Capital. You have Comcast. And Centurylink will give you up to 8mbps in many places. Oof.
