There are eleven uniform (or Archimedean) tilings (or planar nets), with vertex symbols 3^6, 3^4.6, 3^3.4^2, 3^2.4.3.4, 4^4, 3.4.6.4, 3.6.3.6, 6^3, 3.12^2, 4.6.12, and 4.8^2. Grünbaum and Shephard (1987) is the best reference.
a(n) is the number of vertices at graph distance n from any fixed vertex.
The Mathematica notebook can compute 30 or 40 iterations, and colors them with period 5. You could also change out images if you want to. These graphs are better for analyzing 5-iteration chunks of the pattern. You can see that under iteration all fragments of the circumferences are preserved in shape and translated outwards a distance approximately sqrt(21) (relative to small triangle edge), the length of a long diagonal of larger rhombus unit cell. The conjectured recurrence should follow from an analysis of how new pieces occur in between the translated pieces. - Bradley Klee, Nov 26 2014

FORMULA
Based on the computations of Darrah Chavey, Bradley Klee, and Maurizio Paolini, there is a strong conjecture that the first differences of this sequence are 4, 4, 6, 4, 5, 5, 4, 6, 4, 5, 5, 4, 6, 4, 5, 5, ..., that is, 4 followed by (4,6,4,5,5) repeated.
This would imply that the sequence satisfies the recurrence:
for n > 2, a(n) = a(n-1) + { n == 0,3 (mod 5), 4; n == 4 (mod 5), 6; n == 1,2 (mod 5), 5 }
(from Darrah Chavey)
and has generating function
(x^2+x+1)*(x^4+3*x^3+3*x+1)/((x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)*(x-1)^2)
All the above conjectures are true - for proof see link to my article with Chaim Goodman-Strauss. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 14 2018; link added Mar 26 2018

Number of squares on the perimeter of an (n+1) X (n+1) board. - Jon Perry, Jul 27 2003
Coordination sequence for square lattice (or equivalently the planar net 4.4.4.4).
Apparently also the coordination sequence for the planar net 3.4.6.4. - Darrah Chavey, Nov 23 2014
From N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 26 2014: (Start)
I confirm that this is indeed the coordination sequence for the planar net 3.4.6.4. The points at graph distance n from a fixed point in this net essentially lie on a hexagon (see illustration in link).
If n = 3k, k >= 1, there are 2k + 1 nodes on each edge of the hexagon. This counts the corners of the hexagon twice, so the number of points in the shell is 6(2k + 1) - 6 = 4n. If n = 3k + 1, the numbers of points on the six edges of the hexagon are 2k + 2 (4 times) and 2k + 1 (twice), for a total of 12k + 10 - 6 = 4n. If n = 3k + 2 the numbers are 2k + 2 (4 times) and 2k + 3 twice, and again we get 4n points.
The illustration shows shells 0 through 12, as well as the hexagons formed by shells 9 (green, 36 points), 10 (black, 40 points), 11 (red, 44 points), and 12 (blue, 48 points).
It is clear from the net that this period-3 structure continues forever, and establishes the theorem.
In contrast, for the 4.4.4.4 planar net, the successive shells are diamonds instead of hexagons, and again the n-th shell (n > 0) contains 4n points.
Of course the two nets are very different, since 4.4.4.4 has the symmetry of the square, while 3.4.6.4 has only mirror symmetry (with respect to a point), and has the symmetry of a regular hexagon with respect to the center of any of the 12-gons. (End)
Also the coordination sequence for a 6.6.6.6 point in the 3-transitive tiling {4.6.6, 6.6.6, 6.6.6.6}, see A265045, A265046. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 27 2015

Coordination sequence for planar net 6^3 (the graphite net, or the graphene crystal) - that is, the number of atoms at graph distance n from any fixed atom. Also for the hcb or honeycomb net. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 06 2013, Mar 31 2018
Coordination sequence for 2-dimensional cyclotomic lattice Z[zeta_3].
Conjecture: This is also the maximum number of edges possible in a planar simple graph with n+2 vertices. - Dmitry Kamenetsky, Jun 29 2008
The conjecture is correct. Proof: For n=0 the theorem holds, the maximum planar graph has n+2=2 vertices and 1 edge. Now suppose that we have a connected planar graph with at least 3 vertices. If it contains a face that is not a triangle, we can add an edge that divides this face into two without breaking its planarity. Hence all maximum planar graphs are triangulations. Euler's formula for planar graphs states that in any planar simple graph with V vertices, E edges and F faces we have V+F-E=2. If all faces are triangles, then F=2E/3, which gives us E=3V-6. Hence for n>0 each maximum planar simple graph with n+2 vertices has 3n edges. - Michal Forisek, Apr 23 2009
a(n) = sum of natural numbers m such that n - 1 <= m <= n + 1. Generalization: If a(n,k) = sum of natural numbers m such that n - k <= m <= n + k (k >= 1) then a(n,k) = (k + n)*(k + n + 1)/2 = A000217(k+n) for 0 <= n <= k, a(n,k) = a(n-1,k) +2k + 1 = ((k + n - 1)*(k + n)/2) + 2k + 1 = A000217(k+n-1) +2k +1 for n >= k + 1 (see e.g. A008486). - Jaroslav Krizek, Nov 18 2009

COMMENTS
a(n) is the number of vertices of the 3.3.4.3.4 tiling (which has three triangles and two squares, in the given cyclic order, meeting at each vertex) whose shortest path connecting them to a given origin vertex contains n edges.
This is the dual tiling to the Cairo tiling (cf. A296368). - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 02 2018
First few terms provided by Allan C. Wechsler; Fred Lunnon and Fred Helenius gave the next few; Fred Lunnon suggested that the recurrence was a(n+3) = a(n) + 16 for n > 1. [This conjecture is true - see the CGS-NJAS link for a proof. - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 31 2017]
Appears also to be coordination sequence for node of type V2 in "krd" 2-D tiling (or net). This should be easy to prove by the coloring book method (see link). - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 25 2018
