Editor’s note (08/13/2025 4:30pm): Time of day was previously shown in standard time on the graphs below, in error. The graphs and text are now updated to Pacific Daylight Time. One of the things I really appreciate about living here is how late it stays light out. I moved to Seattle from San Diego in 2008 (I know, another Californian), and that shift in latitude made a huge difference in the length of the day.
