The 5 Daily Prayer Times in Seattle — What Each Prayer Means
Seattle Muslims observe 5 daily Salah prayers, each tied to the sun’s position over Seattle, WA. The 5 Seattle salat times are:
1. Fajr — Seattle Dawn Prayer (5:12 AM) Fajr is the pre-dawn prayer performed before sunrise in Seattle. The Seattle Fajr time today is 5:12 AM — approximately 1 hour and 16 minutes before the 6:28 AM sunrise. Fajr opens the Islamic prayer day and is observed by Muslims across Seattle’s neighborhoods, including the University District, Beacon Hill, and Capitol Hill communities where mosque attendance is highest for morning Jamaat prayer.
2. Sunrise — 6:28 AM Sunrise marks the close of the Fajr prayer window in Seattle. Seattle’s sunrise time shifts from approximately 7:55 AM in late December to 5:11 AM in mid-June — a 2-hour-and-44-minute range that directly drives the wide seasonal variation in Seattle’s Fajr prayer schedule. Sunrise is not a Salah itself but functions as a daily boundary for the Cascadia prayer schedule.
3. Dhuhr — Seattle Midday Prayer (12:08 PM) Dhuhr is the midday prayer observed after the sun crosses its zenith over Seattle. The Seattle Dhuhr time today is 12:08 PM, aligning closely with standard Seattle work lunch hours. Muslims observing Dhuhr prayer in Seattle’s downtown offices, University of Washington campus, and South Seattle workplaces commonly schedule Dhuhr during a 15-minute midday break. Several Seattle employers maintain a dedicated prayer space for this purpose.
4. Asr — Seattle Afternoon Prayer (3:45 PM) Asr is the afternoon prayer. The upcoming prayer Asr time in Seattle today is 3:45 PM. Seattle’s Asr time falls between the Shafi’i/Maliki/Hanbali calculation (earlier Asr) and Hanafi calculation (later Asr) — a difference of approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour in Seattle depending on the season and calculation method selected. The Athan App allows Seattle Muslims to toggle between these two Asr calculation standards.
5. Maghrib — Seattle Sunset Prayer (5:51 PM) Maghrib is the sunset prayer observed when the sun fully sets below Seattle’s western horizon over Puget Sound. The Seattle Maghrib time today is 5:51 PM. During Ramadan 2026, Maghrib carries special significance as the Iftar (fast-breaking) time for Seattle’s Muslim community. Seattle’s Ballard sunset prayer and the downtown Seattle Adhan for Maghrib are both timed to this solar event. Seattle’s Maghrib time ranges from approximately 4:18 PM in late December to 9:02 PM in late June — the widest single-prayer variation in Seattle’s full year Salah timetable.
6. Isha — Seattle Night Prayer (7:05 PM) Isha is the final Salah of the Islamic prayer day in Seattle. The Seattle Isha time today is 7:05 PM, approximately 1 hour and 14 minutes after Maghrib. Isha closes the daily namaz timetable prayer schedule for Seattle’s Muslim community. During Ramadan 2026, Isha is followed by Tarawih prayers at Seattle mosques — check individual masjid schedules for Tarawih timing.

How Seattle Prayer Times Are Calculated
Seattle prayer times are determined by 4 primary inputs:
- Seattle Coordinates: 47.6062° N, 122.3321° W — Seattle’s northern latitude creates the dramatic seasonal variation in prayer times
- Calculation Method: The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method is the most widely used standard at Seattle area mosques; other accepted methods used in Seattle include Karachi — University of Islamic Sciences, MWL — Muslim World League, Mecca — Umm al-Qura, and Jafari — Ithna Ashari
- Asr Jurisprudence (Madhab): Standard (Shafi, Hanbali, Maliki) sets the earlier Asr; Hanafi school sets a later Asr — the difference in Seattle reaches 45 minutes to 1 hour in summer
- Time Zone: America/Los_Angeles (PST UTC-8 in winter, PDT UTC-7 in summer)
Seattle’s northern latitude at 47.6° N produces prayer time variation more extreme than cities at lower latitudes. The difference between Seattle’s shortest and longest Fajr-to-Isha window spans approximately 8 hours across the year — significantly more than cities like Nashville (36° N) or Los Angeles (34° N). During Seattle’s summer, Isha prayer time pushes past 10:00 PM, and the Fajr-to-sunrise window narrows to under 30 minutes at the summer solstice.
Qibla Direction From Seattle, WA
The Qibla direction from Seattle, Washington is approximately 18° northeast, facing toward Mecca (Makkah al-Mukarramah) from Seattle’s position in the northwestern United States. Seattle Muslims face this direction for all 5 daily Salah prayers. The Space Needle Qibla reference — looking northeast from downtown Seattle across the Space Needle’s orientation — is a practical local landmark bearing that several Seattle Muslims use as a directional reference.
The Athan App, PrayerBook, and islamicfinder.org all include a built-in Qibla (AR) compass calibrated to Seattle’s GPS coordinates.

Seattle Prayer Times vs. Other Washington State Cities
Seattle prayer times differ from other Washington State cities based on geographic coordinates. The table below compares today’s Fajr and Maghrib times across 4 Washington cities:
| City | Fajr | Maghrib |

| Spokane, WA | 5:28 AM | 5:37 PM |
| Tacoma, WA | 5:14 AM | 5:53 PM |
| Bellevue, WA | 5:12 AM | 5:51 PM |
Bellevue shares nearly identical prayer times with Seattle due to geographic proximity. Spokane, located east of the Cascade Mountains in a different longitude band, shows earlier Fajr times and earlier Maghrib times than Seattle despite sitting at a similar latitude.
Friday Prayer (Jumu’ah) Times in Seattle
Friday prayer times Seattle run at all major mosques and Islamic centers across the city. Seattle’s Friday Jumu’ah prayer schedule varies by mosque — most Seattle mosques run 1 to 3 Jumu’ah sessions to accommodate the full congregation.

Practical Notes on Seattle Prayer Times for Daily Life
I’ve heard from Muslim friends and colleagues across Seattle about fitting the daily prayer schedule Seattle into a standard Pacific Northwest workday. A few things that come up consistently:
Dhuhr at 12:08 PM and Seattle work schedules: Dhuhr falls squarely within most Seattle lunch hours. The prayer itself takes 10–15 minutes including Wudu (ritual purification). Several major Seattle employers — including tech companies in South Lake Union and the University of Washington — maintain designated prayer spaces.
Asr at 3:45 PM and Seattle afternoons: Asr falls during standard Seattle work hours. The prayer takes approximately 7–10 minutes. Muslims observing Asr at workplaces in downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, and the University District use Athan App’s silent Azan notification to track the prayer window without disrupting meetings.
Maghrib at 5:51 PM and Seattle commute times: Maghrib falls just after most standard Seattle workday endings, making it the most reliably observed community prayer for Muslims who commute from downtown Seattle to Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley, and North Seattle neighborhoods.
Summer Isha timing — Seattle’s unique challenge: Seattle’s northern latitude pushes Isha past 10:00 PM in June and July. This is the most discussed scheduling challenge among Seattle’s Muslim community during summer. The Athan App allows Seattle Muslims to set a fixed Isha time during extreme latitude summer months if the solar-calculated time conflicts with sleep schedules — check with local imam guidance on this adjustment.
A Note From Me on This Guide
I put this Seattle prayer times guide together because accurate, locally specific resources for the Muslim community in Seattle, WA matter — and the resources that exist are often not built with Seattle’s specific latitude, time zone transitions, or neighborhood diversity in mind.
I’m not Muslim and not an Islamic scholar. I’m a Seattle resident who pays attention to the people around me. For the most precise daily Seattle salat times, cross-reference with the Athan App, PrayerBook, or timesprayer.com set to Seattle’s exact coordinates, and verify Jamaat times directly with your local Seattle masjid before attending.
Seattle prayer times in this guide are calculated using ISNA method for Seattle, WA coordinates (47.6062° N, 122.3321° W) in the America/Los_Angeles time zone. Times shift daily — use a GPS-based prayer app for real-time accuracy. Verify mosque Jamaat schedules directly with each Islamic center.
