Seattle, United States

Seattle operates on Pacific Standard Time (PST) at UTC−8 and PDT at UTC−7. It shares its clock with Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles on the West Coast.

A 9 AM daily standup in Seattle is noon in New York, 5 PM in London, and 2 AM the next day in Tokyo. Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing all manage global workforces from here, making timezone math a core skill.

Seattle’s position as a Pacific Northwest tech and aerospace hub means constant coordination with teams across Asia, Europe, and the rest of the Americas.
