How do I target Washington in the proxy username?

Washington targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put state-dc-city-washington after the country, and connect to gw.metroproxies.com.

  • USERNAME-country-us-state-dc-city-washington: rotating Washington IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-dc-city-washington-zip-20019: narrows to ZIP 20019, one of 57 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-dc-city-washington-asn-7922: asks for an IP on Xfinity's network (AS7922) when one is online in Washington.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-dc-city-washington-session-wash01-ttl-30: keeps one Washington IP for up to 30 minutes; it can change earlier if the home device goes offline.

City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. Test with one request before you script a run, and widen to the state if a filter is too narrow. Details: city-level targeting.

Which internet providers serve homes in Washington?

Washington counts 385,672 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Xfinity (99%), Verizon Fios (93%) and Astound (64%), by share of units covered. Fiber is available to 63% of homes and cable to 98%. T-Mobile Home Internet (89%) and AT&T Internet Air (65%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).

These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Washington exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS7922 is Xfinity) before you compare results between runs.

What local details matter when you test from Washington?

With 702,250 residents in 2024, Washington ranks 22 among the 181 US cities over 150,000 on this site; the population grew 1.8% since 2020. The city is part of the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV metropolitan area, shared with Alexandria; the metro had 6,436,489 residents in 2024.

For tests that read local details, expect area codes 202 and 771, Eastern Time and ZIP codes such as 20019, 20011 and 20032. A proxy changes the IP only: set the time zone America/New_York and the language in your browser or tool yourself. Sales tax in District of Columbia: 6% at state level, 6% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. District of Columbia had no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force in October 2026.

What else do people ask about Washington proxies?

Which Washington ZIP codes can I request?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 57 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Washington, among them 20019, 20011, 20032 and 20002 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors.

Is a Washington proxy server the same as a residential proxy?

Not always. "Washington proxy server" means any proxy with a Washington IP; public free lists mostly show shared data-center or open servers that change often. A residential proxy sends your request through a home connection in Washington, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write country-us-state-dc-city-washington in the username; plans start at $1.50.

Can I get a Washington IP from one internet provider?

Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-dc-city-washington-asn-7922 asks for Xfinity (AS7922). Per the FCC map, Xfinity serves 99% of Washington homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.

Does a Washington IP set the local time on my tool?

No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Washington uses Eastern Time (UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer); set America/New_York and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them.

How do I hold one Washington IP during a session?

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-dc-city-washington-session-wash01-ttl-30 keeps one Washington exit for up to 30 minutes. Sessions last up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier if the residential device goes offline. Use a new session ID to get a new Washington IP.

Which area codes belong to Washington?

Washington numbers use 202 and 771; these codes overlay the same area, so any of them is local (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests.
