Best time to meet between Seattle and Beijing

The overlap falls at 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Seattle, or 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM if you're in Beijing. Because Beijing is 15 hours ahead of Seattle, the shared window is only about 1 hour. A fixed slot at 5:00 PM in Seattle (8:00 AM in Beijing) saves a lot of back-and-forth. The two cities aren't on the same date during this window — Beijing runs the next day from Seattle. Watch the DST gap — when Seattle changes its clocks and Beijing stays the same, this window slides by an hour.
