Business & Commerce

Portland, Oregon operates on Pacific Time (PT) — Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC−8) in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC−7) in summer — the same clock as Seattle and Vancouver. Portland has a significant technology and semiconductor manufacturing presence (often called part of the 'Silicon Forest'), anchored by Intel's largest employment base outside its Santa Clara headquarters, alongside a well-known creative, design, and outdoor-apparel industry cluster that includes Nike's world headquarters in nearby Beaverton. Pacific Time places Portland three hours behind New York and eight hours behind London in winter, and its close alignment with Seattle means the two cities function as a shared Pacific Northwest business corridor.
