Understanding the Vancouver – Seattle Time Difference
Vancouver runs on America/Vancouver, currently PDT (UTC-7:00). Seattle runs on America/Los_Angeles, currently PDT (UTC-7:00). Both offsets are identical right now, which is why the two cities show the same clock time.
Both cities observe Daylight Saving Time, but they don't switch on the same date — so for a few weeks each year the gap between them is different again. The next shift is on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when Vancouver adjusts its clocks and the difference becomes 1 hour. Anything scheduled across that date needs checking again.
