Area Code Breakdown & District Mapping
425 – Puget Sound Eastside Code
Area code 425 was created in 1997 when it split from 206, serving the Eastside and north Puget Sound suburbs including Everett, Bellevue, Redmond, and Kirkland. It is Everett’s primary code and anchors Snohomish County.
564 – Washington Statewide Overlay
Area code 564 is Washington’s statewide overlay, introduced in 2017 to add numbering capacity across the entire state. In Everett it overlays 425, so new lines may be issued a 564 number that is fully local to existing 425 numbers.
Neighborhoods & Local Coverage
Everett’s 425 code covers a city defined by aerospace and the sea. Downtown centers on the Colby Avenue corridor and the Angel of the Winds Arena, while the Port Gardner waterfront and the marina anchor the city’s maritime identity. The massive Boeing Everett factory and Paine Field dominate the west side.
Beyond downtown, the same codes reach the Riverside and Bayside neighborhoods, the Silver Lake area to the south, Naval Station Everett on the waterfront, and neighboring Snohomish County communities like Marysville, Lynnwood, and Mukilteo. The 425 and 564 codes tie the north sound together.
Local Dialing Rules & the Statewide 564 Overlay
Everett and all of Washington have required 10-digit dialing for years — always dial the area code plus the 7-digit number. The Eastside and north sound use 425, while the statewide 564 overlay adds new numbers across the same territory.
Washington’s 564 code is unusual: rather than overlaying a single region, it is a statewide overlay introduced in 2017 to add capacity across every existing Washington area code. That means a 564 number can be based anywhere in the state, and 10-digit dialing is mandatory everywhere in Washington.
To call Everett from outside the United States, dial your country’s exit code, then the U.S. country code +1, followed by the 10-digit number (for example, +1 425 XXX-XXXX). From inside the U.S. and Canada, simply dial 1 before the 10-digit number for long-distance calls.
Major ZIP Codes Covered
The 425 service area spans many of Everett’s core ZIP codes, including 98201, 98203, 98204, and 98208.
Spam & Scam Call Warnings in Everett
Everett residents report neighbor-spoofing robocalls faking a local 425 prefix, plus fake utility-shutoff threats from callers posing as Snohomish County PUD. Auto-warranty and Medicare scams are also common across the north sound.
| Scam Type | What to Watch For |
|---|---|
| Neighbor Spoofing | Calls that mimic a local 425 prefix to look familiar. |
| Utility / Toll Scams | Threats to shut off power or demand toll payment via gift cards. |
| IRS / Government | Robocalls claiming legal action — agencies never call to demand instant payment. |
Red flag: Any caller who pressures you to pay immediately with gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency is almost certainly running a scam. Hang up and verify through an official number.
