Current Time in Seattle

Time Zone & Business Hours — Seattle

Seattle keeps Pacific Time — PST (UTC−8) in winter and PDT (UTC−7) in summer. Home to Amazon and Microsoft, Seattle has a distinct tech and aerospace character that sets it apart from Los Angeles. Boeing's commercial aviation division also means Seattle time is a reference for global aerospace supply chains.

Seattle's northern latitude — around the same as Paris — means the Pacific Time clock change has a dramatic effect on daylight hours: PDT summers bring sunset past 9 pm, while PST winters make it dark by 4:30 pm. Amazon and Microsoft both schedule global engineering syncs around Seattle business hours, making this offset unusually influential for a non-financial city.
