What time zone is Seattle in?

Seattle keeps PDT (7 hours behind UTC, UTC-07:00). Its database zone is America/Los_Angeles — worth knowing if you are scheduling anything that has to survive a daylight saving change.

Seattle observes daylight saving. The next change lands on Sunday, 01 November 2026, when 1 hour is added or removed and the abbreviation becomes PST.

United States is not on a single clock: the 419 cities listed here fall across 10 time zones, so times elsewhere in the country will not match Seattle.

With a population near 737,015, Seattle comes in 12th of the 212 United States cities we list.

Scheduling calls with Seattle

Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Seattle local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.

New York 09:00–14:00 in Seattle 5 hours overlap
Sao Paulo 09:00–13:00 in Seattle 4 hours overlap

No shared working window exists with London, Paris, Dubai or Mumbai, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.
