The Smallest City to Host a World's Fair

Spokane hosted Expo '74 with a population of about 170,000, making it the smallest city ever to stage a world's fair. It was also the first such fair with an environmental theme, and it cleared a railyard off the river to build it.

The clock: Spokane keeps Pacific Time. Its Bloomsday run draws around 40,000 entrants, one of the largest timed road races in the world.

Spokane lies at 117.4°W. Its time zone, UTC−8, is built around the 120°W meridian. The 2.6° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 10 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:50 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 50 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:50.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 16h of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 8h 25m. The swing between them is 7h 35m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Spokane the sun comes up earliest on 17 June at 04:51, while the latest sunset waits until 27 June at 20:52. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Spokane that civil twilight runs about 31 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 41 minutes at the solstice.

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
