Coverage
Where does the 206 area code apply?
The 206 area code serves the city of Seattle and its closest suburbs and islands. It is one of the 86 original area codes from the 1947 North American Numbering Plan, and once covered the entire state of Washington before later splits narrowed it down to the Seattle area.
Area code 509 split off for eastern Washington in 1957, area code 360 followed in 1995, and a three-way split in 1997 carved out 253 and 425, leaving 206 with the Seattle metro footprint it has today. Since June 2025, the shared 564 overlay has also started serving new lines in the 206 territory. A 206 number on Bloom AI cloud telephony stays local for your Seattle customers, wherever your team works from.

Shared numbering complex
206 or 564: which should you choose?
206 is Seattle's original 1947 code. 564 is a newer overlay shared across the whole western Washington numbering complex — 206, 253, 360 and 425 — and only began serving new 206-area lines in June 2025. In practice, the choice mainly depends on which numbers are available when your line is activated.
Why 206
Why choose a 206 number for your business?
206 has been Seattle's area code since 1947, even as its footprint narrowed over the decades to today's city and closest-suburb territory. It gives a business a contact point tied to the Seattle market, even when its team works remotely.
And because every call runs through Bloom AI, your local number becomes a sales lever: every conversation is analyzed, summarized and turned into a next step.
