There’s a new area code to look out for when you are trying to separate the transplants from the Seattle natives, as the 206 has run out of possible numbers.
The Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) announced Thursday that the new area code, 564, will be assigned to new numbers alongside the existing 206 numbers.

The plan was originally drafted in 2000 when the commission thought that the area would run out of numbers earlier, but thanks to state and federal number conservation efforts, the plan was delayed.
