Every Washington area code in the registry
In numeric order, as the NANPA registry file dated 07/30/2026 lists them. An overlay code serves the same area as the code it was laid over.
| Area code | In service since | Overlaid with | Local calls dialed with |
|---|---|---|---|
| 206 | 1947 | 564 | 10 digits |
| 253 | Apr 27, 1997 | None | 10 digits |
| 360 | Jan 15, 1995 | 564 | 10 digits |
| 425 | Apr 27, 1997 | None | 10 digits |
| 509 | 1957 | None | 10 digits |
| 564 | Aug 28, 2017 | 206, 360 | 10 digits |
Two codes are shown as overlaid only where each code's own registry row lists the other. The registry's rows occasionally disagree, and where they do the pairing is left out rather than guessed. The dialing column is the predominant pattern NANPA records for a local call within the same code.
