Area code 360

Area code 360 serves Washington, including Vancouver, Olympia and Whatcom City (Pacific time). It has been in service since January 15, 1995 and shares its area with 564.

Numbers starting with 360 drew 2,341 reports to the FTC from Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 11, 2026 and 1,253 complaints to the FCC since November 2023. The number on your screen can be faked, so a 360 number proves nothing about where a call came from.

Phone companies holding 360 exchanges

Each exchange (the three digits after the area code) is assigned to one carrier. 70% of these exchanges are pooled: their numbers are handed out in blocks of 1,000 to other carriers, so the holder below is not always the company serving a given number.
