About the time in Ketchikan
Around 8,050 people live in Ketchikan, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Ketchikan runs on America/Sitka, which puts the city UTC −8 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Ketchikan is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −8 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
