This page has the following summary.

  Will I be able to receive WAAS in my area?
   A: Our testing shows that WAAS is received reliably for navigation
purposes along the east coast from Maine to the Bahamas and on the west
coast from Mexico to northern California. See the map for the total
coverage area. Soon a Pacific satellite will also broadcast the WAAS
correction, enabling the Pacific Northwest and Alaska to have full WAAS
coverage.
