Frequently Asked Questions About Cell Towers in Washington
How many cell phone towers are there in Washington?
According to the FCC Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) database, there are 507 registered cellular towers in Washington. The map on this page pulls live from the FCC service, so the count reflects the most recent filings — typically within 30–60 days of changes being filed with the Commission.
Who owns the most cell towers in Washington?
The largest licensee in Washington is AT&T Mobility Spectrum, which is the FCC-registered owner of 157 towers in the state. The next largest is Inland Cellular with 74 towers. Remember that an FCC licensee is not always the consumer-facing carrier — many sites are owned by tower companies (American Tower, Crown Castle, SBA Communications) and leased to multiple carriers.
Which county in Washington has the most cell towers?
Pierce County has the most registered cellular towers in Washington with 38 towers. See the full county breakdown above for the top 10.
How tall are the cell towers in Washington?
The average tower height in Washington is 46 m (about 151 ft), and the tallest registered structure reaches 286 m (about 938 ft). The FCC ASR records structure heights in metres; we show metres alongside the imperial conversion. Heights are overall structure heights above ground level, including antennas and appurtenances, and exclude towers below the ASR registration threshold.
Can I download a list of cell towers in Washington?
Yes. Enable the “Select towers within N miles” tool on the map above, click anywhere to set a center point, and the map will highlight every tower inside that radius. Then use Export CSV or Export GeoJSON to download the selection for use in a spreadsheet, GIS, or Google Earth. All data comes straight from the FCC ASR and is free to use.
Does this map show 5G small cells in Washington?
No. The FCC Antenna Structure Registration system tracks structures over 200 ft tall or sites near airports. Small cells, DAS nodes, and rooftop antennas below that threshold do not require ASR registration and therefore do not appear on the map. The 507 towers shown are the macro cell sites that back-haul most cellular traffic in Washington.
