Comcast will unveil its new XFINITY Store in Factoria on Saturday, Feb. 23, which will serve Bellevue, Mercer Island and the surrounding areas. The new store is the first of its kind on the Eastside.

Brock Huard, ESPN Football Analyst, ESPN 710 AM radio host and former University of Washington and Seattle Seahawks quarterback, will greet fans, sign pictures and pose for photographs from 1 to 3 p.m.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will include a $2,500 donation to Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission to support its computer learning center. The organization is one of the charities that Huard supports.

The 3,000-square-foot store creates eight new jobs and will be open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. It is located at 3630 Factoria Blvd. SE.
