United States
The following states or areas are part of the Pacific Time Zone:
- California - all.
- Washington - all.
- Oregon – all, except for most of Malheur County, on the Idaho border (the dividing line goes through the southwest corner of township 35 S, range 37 E, and lies at a latitude of approximately 42.4507448 N).
- Nevada – all, except for the border town of West Wendover (near Utah), which observes the Mountain Time Zone. Also, the border town of Jackpot (near Idaho) unofficially observes Mountain Time.
- Idaho – northern half, north of the Salmon River.
Most of Arizona lies in the Mountain Time Zone but does not observe daylight saving time. As a result of not observing daylight saving time, most of the state is in line with Pacific Daylight Time during the spring, summer and autumn months. The Navajo Nation, most of which lies within Arizona, does observe daylight saving time, although the Hopi Nation, as well as some Arizona state offices lying within the Navajo Nation, do not.
The town of Hyder, Alaska is officially in the Alaska Time Zone, but most of the town uses the Pacific Time Zone since much of its community is dependent on nearby Stewart, British Columbia, which is in the Pacific Time Zone. The United States Post Office in Hyder strictly adheres to Alaska Time.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Madam, I may be President of the United States, but my private life is nobody’s damn business.”
