Some background on Washington and it’s area codes

Washington state's area code system has evolved since the first code, 206, was assigned in 1947. Originally covering the entire state, 206 now specifically serves the Seattle metropolitan area due to population growth and the demand for more telephone numbers, leading to the implementation of additional area codes.

As of 2023, Washington has multiple area codes, including 206, 253, 360, 425, 509, 564, and 986. Area code 509 covers the eastern part of the state, including Spokane and the Tri-Cities, while 360 serves the western region excluding the greater Seattle area, which is covered by 206, 253, and 425.

The introduction of area code 564 in 2017 was a notable development, serving as an overlay to provide additional numbering options across multiple regions in Washington state. This overlay approach helps meet the increasing demand for new numbers without the need for geographic splits, preserving existing phone numbers and minimizing disruptions.
