Ah...just bothered to check, since nobody was posting anything about it.

Rather than spell it out, I'll just quote Encyclopedia Britanica
Online:


In the United States, daylight saving time formerly began on the last
Sunday in April and ended on the last Sunday in October. In 1986 the U.S.
Congress passed a law moving up the start of daylight saving time to the
first Sunday in April, while keeping its end date the same. In most of
the countries of western Europe, daylight saving time starts on the last
Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in September. In Britain and
many other countries worldwide, it lasts from March 30 to October 26.


So, for 2059, Seattle, PDT begins April 6th, and ends October 26.

Aw heck, as long as I am being helpful, here's the calender for 2059,
thanks to a little Calender function on my cluster:
