## 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](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/).

## 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](https://metroproxies.com/cities/alexandria-va/); 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.

## How much do Washington residential proxies cost?

Washington traffic costs the same as any other US city: $1.50 for 1 GB, $5.94 for 10 GB, and from $0.50/GB on the larger plans, as of October 2026. City, state, ZIP and ASN targeting are included in every plan, and unused GB never expire.

### Which plan fits a Washington test?

| Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Test | 1 GB | $1.50 | $1.50/GB |
| Local | 10 GB | $5.94 | $0.59/GB |
| National | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB |
| Terabyte | 1 TB | $500 | $0.50/GB |

Pay in crypto only (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The top-up is the price of the plan you choose, less any balance you already have, and at least $25; anything left stays on your balance. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Prices in USD.

## 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.
