Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday, March 9, 2025, at 2am. Clocks need to be set to 3am or one hour later (“spring ahead”).
Daylight Saving Time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November throughout the world. In the US, it is a federal law, but states can request to be exempted.
Hawaii and much of Arizona do not observe Daylight Saving Time.
A 2019 bill passed in the Washington state legislature said the state would make such a change if the US Congress approved. But nothing has changed in the 3 years since because the US Congress has not passed legislation to end Daylight Saving Time.
Under the Uniform Time Act, states may choose to exempt themselves from observing Daylight Saving Time by state law but states do not have the authority to choose to be on permanent Daylight Saving Time.
