There is a new telephone area code coming to portions of the North Bay. The longtime 707 area code has run out of number combinations, and now a new 369 area code is in the mix. California’s Public Utilities Commission says the area code update will cover portions of 11 counties, including Sonoma, Napa, Marin, Solano, Lake, Mendocino, and Humboldt.
