Seattle does not have "very wide Extended Area Service" as such. In
doesn't need it, as in fact what Seattle does have is an extensive
local calling area.  Unaware of "local telecom entrepreneur" effort to
lobby the WA PUC in this regard as such, but we did have a collection
of now-concluded cases with US Metrolink, etc. squaring off against
GTE-NW and US West, where those coming out on the short end were these
so-called "EAS resellers."  Since then, the PUC, like some others, has
redone their EAS policies, a long- overdue step, and now the state
"independents" association is said to be considering a bill for the
upcoming legislative session here that would deal with local exchange
boundary questions and suchlike.
