PST — Pacific Standard Time
Primary cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver, San Diego

US West Coast — home of Silicon Valley, LA entertainment, and the SaaS / VC ecosystem. Business hours 9 AM – 6 PM PT. Startup / tech culture stretches later than East Coast: it's common for calendar invites from West Coast product teams to run through 8 PM PT.
