(The Center Square) – Seattle phone numbers will have a new area code sometime in 2025 when the current 206 area code is expected to run out of telephone numbers. The new Seattle area code will be 564. On June 15, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission approved a plan to implement the new area code to address the need for additional numbers in the Seattle area. The North American Numbering Plan Administrator projected the 206 number to exhaust in the fourth quarter of 2025 in its October 2022 Numbering Resource Forecast.
