Ramadan 2027 times in Seattle: imsak and iftar from day 1 to day 29
In Seattle, Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027, with the first tarawih prayer on the Sunday evening, subject to the sighting of the crescent. On day 1, imsak is at 05:32 and iftar at 17:22, so the fast lasts 11 h 50. By Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak has moved to 05:10 and iftar to 17:43, for a fast of 12 h 33. On Monday 8 March, day 29, imsak falls at 04:44, iftar at 18:05 and the fast reaches 13 h 21.
What the timetable shows in Seattle from imsak to isha
The columns of the timetable always run from imsak to fajr, sunrise, iftar and isha. For Seattle, day 1 gives fajr at 05:42, sunrise at 07:26 and isha at 19:00, while day 29 gives fajr at 04:54, sunrise at 06:36 and isha at 19:41. Over the month, the fast here gains 91 minutes: 48 because imsak comes earlier and 43 because iftar comes later.
How Seattle compares with New York
Seattle is on Pacific Time, three hours behind New York, so only the length of the fast can be set against it and clock times cannot. On day 1, the fast lasts 11 h 50 in Seattle against 12 h 06 in New York, which is 16 minutes shorter than in New York. On day 15 it is 12 h 33 against 12 h 40, 7 minutes shorter than in New York, and on day 29 it is 13 h 21 against 13 h 17, 4 minutes longer than in New York.
Between day 1 and day 29 the fast grows by 91 minutes in Seattle and by 71 minutes in New York. Seattle lies at about 47.6 degrees north, much farther from the equator than New York, which is why the daylight grows so quickly and the fast gains more here than in New York.
Why check the mosque calendar in Seattle
The Muslim World League method produces these times, using 18 degrees for fajr and 17 degrees for isha, with imsak placed ten minutes before fajr. Washington mosques may use different angles or add a few minutes of margin, and a community may follow a calculated calendar or its own local sighting, so printed calendars can differ slightly. The Seattle area stretches from Tacoma to Everett and across Lake Washington to Bellevue, and mosques in different parts may follow different calendars, so rely on your own mosque.
Seattle during the fasting month
Seattle sits between Puget Sound and Lake Washington, with the Olympic Mountains to the west and the Cascades to the east. It is one of the northernmost large cities in the United States, and its winters are grey, wet and mild, with February highs in the 40s Fahrenheit, frequent drizzle and rare snow. The rapid lengthening of the days in late winter makes the change in the fast particularly visible.
Rain, ferries and long mornings in Seattle
Technology, aerospace, the port, the university and the hospitals employ many residents, and hybrid work is common. In early February the sun rises late and sets early, so the fast is short by comparison with most American cities, but it lengthens fast. Bring a waterproof jacket, since dry days are not frequent, and expect traffic around the bridges across Lake Washington to be slow.
Iftar in the Pacific Northwest
Iftars at mosques and student groups mix Somali, Ethiopian, Arab, Pakistani and Indonesian dishes, and the number of volunteers is large. Cold rain makes hot soups and tea very welcome. Because the evening begins at an earlier hour on the first days, many families pray maghrib and eat at home, then go out for the longer evenings as the weeks go by.
The moon may still change any of these dates. In Seattle, the first fast should be on Monday 8 February 2027, the 27th night should begin on the evening of Friday 5 March, and Eid al-Fitr should fall on Tuesday 9 March if the month has 29 days, or on Wednesday 10 March otherwise. Washington State stays on standard time through Ramadan and moves its clocks forward on Sunday 14 March, when Eid has gone by. A few simple habits help:
- Bring a waterproof coat everywhere
- Allow extra time on bridges and ferries
- Prepare hot soup for rainy evenings
- Rest more as the fast lengthens
Which calendar and which routine should you follow in Seattle?
The calendar to follow in Seattle is the one used by the mosque where you pray, because it gives the community a common start and a common Eid. The timetable is a calculated aid for planning, with a fast of 11 h 50 on day 1 and 13 h 21 on day 29. Should your mosque start on another day or choose other angles, apply the same offset to each time and keep going.
How long is the fast in the middle of Ramadan in Seattle?
On Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak is at 05:10 and iftar at 17:43, so the fast lasts 12 h 33 in Seattle, a little more than at the start and a little less than at the end. Fajr is at 05:20, sunrise at 07:03 and isha at 19:20. As the month advances, rely on that duration to plan your meal before imsak and your sleep around the tarawih prayers.
Is Eid al-Fitr a day off in Seattle and how do you manage work or school?
In Seattle, Eid al-Fitr is not a federal holiday and schools do not close for it, but many employers in technology and health care offer flexible leave. Ask your team for the morning of Eid in advance, and students should write to teachers early. As the fast lengthens quickly by the last week, it is sensible to set a lighter workload for those days.
