Historical Information About Area Code 253

Area code 253 is one of the original area codes established in 1947. It serves the western suburbs of Seattle, including Tacoma, Federal Way, and Puyallup. In addition to the Seattle metropolitan area, it also covers portions of the Olympic Peninsula.The 253 area code has seen several changes over the years. It was originally part of area code 206, but was split off in 1955 when 206 became overloaded. It was briefly part of area code 425 in 1995, but reverted to 253 when 425 was split into three separate area codes.

Today, area code 253 is projected to run out of phone numbers by 2020. A new area code, 564, is scheduled to be activated in that area in 2019. This will be the first time that area code 253 has been split into two separate area codes.
