Daylight saving has just changed here, does it change in Seattle also?
Lately I've been adding 4 hours to my time for time difference, now I add 5
because of the DS change here. If there's another change in Seattle, that'd
be going back an hour for this time of year, so I'll be adding 6 to my
time. Has it changed yet?

Pacific time goes by the standard of "Spring Ahead-Fall back." But I
haven't heard that we were on Daylight Savings Time yet the change is
typically on some Saturday night after the equinox, but I don't remember
which. If anything watch for the time-zone tag on my characters's posts
to change from PST to PDT. =)

I wasn't aware the change had happened yet. There are only -two- places in
North America that I know of that do -NOT- use daylight savings time.

Arizona (they have enough to suntime to go around anyway)

and

Indiana (except for Gary, where they've probably killed it along with half
their population)
