IT that keeps Tacoma businesses moving

If you run a small or mid-sized business in Tacoma, University Place, or elsewhere in the South Sound, you already know how one network outage or spoofed invoice can wipe out an afternoon. You need managed IT services in Tacoma WA that are proactive, local when it matters, and priced for real teams, not enterprise theater.

Network26 is a local MSP serving the Greater Puget Sound. Founded by Greg LePage, who has more than 25 years of hands-on IT experience, starting in the Y2K era and continuing through cloud, cybersecurity, and modern hybrid workplaces. For the full service overview, see Managed IT Services and Cybersecurity & Backups.

Whether you are downtown, near the Tideflats, in the North End, or in University Place or Fircrest, we deliver same-day remote support and onsite visits when something needs hands on the hardware. Remote first when it is faster. Onsite when it is smarter.

Why Network26

Enterprise-quality IT, sized for your team

Many Tacoma owners juggle whoever fixed it last time, a friend who knows computers, or a national MSP that treats a 12-person office like a footnote. Neither extreme works. Pure break-fix can get expensive over time if problems keep stacking up, though we still offer as-needed support when that is the right fit. Enterprise MSPs often stack tools and upsells you do not need.

We built Network26 for businesses that want professional tools, proactive monitoring, and transparent pricing, with technicians who explain things in plain English. See also Why Us and About.

Responsive & approachable
Direct access to technicians. Fast answers when your team is stuck.
Business-grade reliability
Monitoring, security, and documented processes you can depend on.
Transparent & fair
Predictable plans or honest break-fix, no surprise upsells.
Service area

Tacoma metro & the South Sound

Onsite IT support is available throughout Western Washington, with strong coverage for Tacoma, University Place, Fircrest, and the broader South Sound. Remote support is available anywhere your staff log in (home offices, hybrid days, and satellite sites included).

Tacoma businesses face the same threats as larger metros (phishing, ransomware, and account takeovers), often with fewer people to catch problems early. That is exactly where managed IT pays for itself: fewer outages, cleaner email security, and a partner who shows up when the office needs hands-on help.
