Still receiving phone books?
For your phone book preferences to take effect in 2011, you will need to submit requests by the following deadlines. Requests submitted after the deadline will take effect starting in 2012.
- May 22, 2012: DEX Seattle Metro and DEX Seattle Metro Plus
- September 21, 2012: Greater Seattle Yellowbook
- October 13, 2012: Seattle - Superpages and SnoKing-Seattle
If yellow pages books are still delivered to your home and you opted out by the deadline, log in to your CatalogChoice account and file a complaint. If you submitted your opt-out request by phone or mail, call our automated phone line at (206) 504-3066 to submit a complaint. By the way, your opt-out choices are permanent and will apply to all future deliveries.
CatalogChoice will track complaints for the City and yellow pages publishers will be held accountable, and even fined, if they fail to honor timely opt-out requests from Seattle residents and businesses.
CatalogChoice, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, operates the Phone Books Opt-Out Registry and provides some stop junk mail services for the City of Seattle under contract. The Phone Books Opt-Out Registry is funded by a fee charged to yellow pages publishers.
