Where 206 is.
206 is one of the original 1947 codes and once covered all of western Washington. The rest of the region moved to 360 in 1995, and Tacoma (253) and the Eastside (425) followed in 1997, which left 206 to Seattle and nearby towns.
NANPA lists 564 as an overlay on 206 and 360. It went into service in 2017.
