AS11665 NORTH-RIDGE

NORTH-RIDGE belongs to North Ridge, a small operator in Almira, Washington — a farm in Lincoln County that is also a retail internet provider. ARIN registered this ASN in September 2023, so the low number is a reissue and says nothing about the network's age.

What it's used for

Retail internet access in rural Eastern Washington. North Ridge is listed as a service provider on the Douglas County Community Network, the county PUD's open-access fibre infrastructure, and the AS appears in NoaNet's peering AS-set — the Northwest Open Access Network being the wholesale backbone those PUD networks ride. On an open-access model the public utility owns the fibre and independent ISPs like this one light it and sell the service, which is why a provider serving customers can look this small in BGP.

Notable

The inventory is deliberately modest: one v4 prefix, 23.166.176.0/24 (256 addresses), one IPv6 /36 (2602:fcfe::/36), and a single observed neighbour. That is the whole network. The /24 is registered in ARIN directly to North Ridge, with the operator's own contact on the record, so there is no third-party or leased-space pattern here at all — just a very small ISP announcing its own block through one upstream.

Interesting

The ARIN postal address and the business behind it are the same place: a working farm known locally for a pumpkin patch and Christmas trees, which also sells fibre internet. A reminder that the org behind an AS handle is often nothing like what the handle implies.
