When are Daylight Saving Time changes in 2025? Will Washington state be participating?

Washington State will continue to observe Daylight Saving Time in 2025, with clocks changing on March 9 and reverting on November 2. The article provides a historical overview of Daylight Saving Time, established by the Uniform Time Act of 1966, which standardized time zones across the U. S. and restricted states from altering their time shifts independently. Despite promises from political figures, including former President Donald Trump, to eliminate this practice, no concrete steps have been implemented.

In 2019, Washington State passed a law to make Daylight Saving Time permanent if federal legislation allows it, but this has yet to be realized. The proposal to make this change has been reintroduced by Senators Patty Murray and Rick Scott, attracting support from multiple senators. The ongoing discussion reflects broader national sentiments regarding the effectiveness and necessity of Daylight Saving Time. As the clock changes approach, the article serves to inform Washington residents about their timekeeping practices and the legislative landscape surrounding it. The implications of these decisions affect not only daily life but also broader issues of health and lifestyle.
