The Orcas Island Chamber was contacted by State Senator Kevin Ranker on Friday, with a business question about the recent internet outages on Orcas Island.

Sen. Ranker, who is the ranking member of the Energy, Environment & Telecommunications Committee, wants to know if your business suffered any negative impacts due to the outages.

Please reply here via email with a brief narrative explaining if, and how, your business or organization was affected. Ranker will be meeting soon with executives from CenturyLink, and your comments will be important for that discussion.
