Long-Distance Calling Options


RCS - Regional Calling Service

  • RCS (Regional Calling Service): this service allows you to dial most Western Washington numbers as a local call from the hospital. All numbers called to 206, 253, and 425 area codes will go through as a local call (dial: 9-xxx-xxx-xxxx). Many 360 numbers will also go through as a local call, but not all fall under that umbrella. The best way to discern whether or not a 360 call is local is to access the RCS Checker for outbound calls.
