About the time in Tacoma
The zone identifier America/Los_Angeles is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Los_Angeles keeps pointing at Los Angeles time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:17 and sunset at 08:08 local time, giving 13h 51m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (47.25, -122.46) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Tacoma.
Tacoma sits at latitude 47.25, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 51m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
