Your Portland Time Companion
Keep It Simple, Keep It Weird.
Welcome to your straightforward, no-fuss guide to the current time in Portland, Oregon. Whether you're coordinating with someone in Stumptown, planning a trip to the iconic Rose City, or just embracing your inner Portlander by being meticulously on time for your artisan coffee meetup, this tool is for you. We focus on clarity and simplicity, so you get the info you need at a glance.
Understanding Portland's Time Zone (PST/PDT)
Portland, and the entire state of Oregon, operate on Pacific Time. This can be a bit tricky because it changes twice a year:
- Pacific Standard Time (PST): This is observed during the fall and winter months. PST is 8 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-8).
- Pacific Daylight Time (PDT): This is observed during the spring and summer to make the most of evening daylight. PDT is 7 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-7).
Our tool automatically accounts for these Daylight Saving Time changes, so the time you see displayed is always correct for the current date.

A Note On Our Design
The look and feel of this page are inspired by the Pacific Northwest itself. We chose a minimalist aesthetic with a clean, "recycled paper" background, deep forest greens, and a warm terracotta accent to evoke the feeling of a cozy cabin, artisan craft, and the natural beauty that defines Portland. It’s designed to be calm, clean, and functional—just like a perfect cup of coffee on a misty morning.
