In 2018 Tillamook Lightwave, working with Wave BroadBand, completed an expansion of its fiber-optic network to the end of Commercial Avenue at the Port of Garibaldi.  With this installation, Port businesses have access to High-Speed Fiber Optic Services up to Gigabit speeds, including Internet and Voice Over IP (VOIP) telephone services. Tillamook Lightwave, along with a grant from Oregon State Lottery funds administered by the Oregon Business Development Department funded this project.
