Honestly.... California already approved a measure to do this (there are a bunch more steps to make it actually happen). So, this is WAY better than if WA/OR were an hour apart from CA for half the year. Also, Seattle/Portland (etc) would suddenly not be America/Los_Angeles timezone anymore.

WA and OR already did permanent daylight savings time, same as CA. All 3 states were just waiting for the federal government to allow them to change.

This is incorrect. Not sure where you get your news.

I was wrong about California, looks like the voters approved allowing the legislature to vote on going to daylight savings time permanently, but the CA legislature has not done so:

WA has enacted it, pending federal government approval:

Looks like Oregon’s is contingent on California enacting it, but it is a passed law:
