"No new area code for Western Washington"
Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at May 11, 2006 12:14 PM | Email ThisPlus, I hate the idea of giving that new code to any new number in Western Washington. At least now, you can tell generally where someone is by the area code. I think that new code might create something like what they have in New York City, where if you are not a certain area code like 212 people will look at you funny like "where the HELL is that?!?".
