History & Geography of Area Code 206
Area code 206 was one of the original 86 area codes assigned in 1947 under the Wikipedia, originally covering the entire state of Washington. In 1957, it was split to create 509 for Eastern Washington; in 1995, it ceded territory for area code 360; and in 1997 it was divided again into 425 (northern suburbs) and 253 (Tacoma area). Today, 206 exclusively serves Seattle and its closest suburbs, symbolizing the city’s identity and technological heritage. Wikipedia Wikipedia
Ten-digit dialing became mandatory in 2017 when area code 564 overlaid 206 and 360 to forestall exhaustion, and in June 2023 the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission approved expanding 564 into the 206 area ahead of projected number shortages in 2025. Wikipedia
