Area code 253

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Area code 253 is a telephone dialing code in Washington for the suburbs south of Seattle and of the southern Puget Sound area, centered at Tacoma and extending to include the areas around Gig Harbor, Auburn, and Roy. It currently serves the entirety of Pierce County, which mostly spans from the Tacoma area to the west-southwest to the eastern side of Mount Rainer National Park.

The area code went into service on April 27, 1997 as part of a three-way split of area code 206.
