Best Answer

Tacoma was in area code 206 until April 27, 1997.

From 1947 through 1956, area code 206 served the entire state of Washington. On January 1, 1957, area code 509 was created for the eastern and central part of the state.

From 1957 until 1995, area code 206 continued to serve the western part of the state, including Tacoma. Then area code 360 split off, for the portion outside the Seattle metro area.

In 1997, area code 206 underwent a three-way split, creating 253 for Tacoma and 425 for Redmond, with Seattle keeping 206.
