Area codes in Washington state
The U.S. state of Washington has six telephone area codes . The state initially used a single area code (206 ) until it was divided in 1957 with the creation of area code 509 to serve Eastern Washington . In 1995, 206 was split again to serve just the Puget Sound region after area code 360 was created for the remainder of Western Washington . In 1997, area code 425 was assigned to Seattle's Eastside and South Snohomish County suburbs and area code 253 for the Tacoma area, leaving 206 for just the city of Seattle , closely neighboring cities in King and Snohomish counties, and Bainbridge Island in Kitsap County .
