In 1999, an overlay areacode of 564 was to be introduced to the entire 360area; however the implementation has been delayed indefinitely by order of the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission.
The new 564areacode was planned to overlap Western Washington's four existing areacodes.
Rather than set another date for introducing the new areacode, the WUTC directed its staff to monitor number use on a monthly basis and determine later next year whether to propose a new date for the start of the areacode.
Staff members believe there are enough telephone prefixes in the existing areacodes (360, 206, 425, and 253) to meet the telephone industry's needs for the next year.
