Prayer Times Bellevue, WA Today

How Prayer Times in Bellevue Change Through the Year

No two days in Bellevue start at quite the same time. Across 2026, the earliest dawn prayer falls on 03 Jun 2026 at 3:10 AM, while the latest falls on 31 Oct 2026 at 6:25 AM. Between those dates Fajr travels 3 hours 15 minutes, which is why this page recalculates the timetable daily instead of printing a fixed one. The swing is wide because Bellevue sits at 47.6 degrees north, far enough from the equator for the seasons to move the sun's path a long way.

The evening moves even more than the morning. The earliest Maghrib of the year in Bellevue is 4:17 PM on 07 Dec 2026; the latest is 9:11 PM on 23 Jun 2026, a shift of 4 hours 54 minutes. On the longest day, 21 Jun 2026, sunset holds until 9:10 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it comes at 4:20 PM.

For anyone fasting outside Ramadan, such as the Monday and Thursday fasts or the white days each month, the longest fast of 2026 in Bellevue runs 18 hours 0 minutes on 18 Jun 2026, from Fajr at 3:10 AM to Maghrib at 9:10 PM. The shortest fast is 10 hours 0 minutes on 18 Dec 2026. Solar noon moves too: Dhuhr ranges from 11:52 AM in one part of the year to 1:19 PM in another, following the equation of time. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that is one of the ten longest fasting days in the United States: only 1 places fast longer at midsummer.

At the height of summer the night almost disappears. Isha does not arrive until 11:11 PM on 22 Jun 2026, and the next Fajr follows only about 3 hours 59 minutes later. Worshippers in Bellevue guard their sleep through June and July, and some mosques adjust or combine the summer night prayers, so check your mosque's board in midsummer.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Bellevue

The Bellevue timetable on this page is calculated with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method, the convention followed by most mosques in the United States. It sets Fajr and Isha by a 15-degree depression angle of the sun, and Asr by the standard shadow rule; the Hanafi Asr is one tap away in the method selector. Each prayer is tied to a position of the sun, never to a fixed clock time. Today, 03 Nov 2026, is 23 Jumādá al-ūlá 1448.

Fajr (5:29 AM today)

Fajr is the dawn prayer, and its time begins at true dawn, the first horizontal light in the east. Today in Bellevue that is 5:29 AM. Pray it before sunrise (6:56 AM); after sunrise it counts as qada (missed). Through the year in Bellevue, dawn moves between 3:10 AM and 6:25 AM, so the Fajr alarm needs resetting with the seasons.

Dhuhr (11:52 AM today)

Dhuhr enters just after solar noon, the moment the sun stops climbing and starts down. Solar noon in Bellevue is not 12:00 on the clock, because the city sits inside the America/Los_Angeles zone rather than on its meridian line: today it gives a Dhuhr of 11:52 AM. On Fridays, Jummah takes Dhuhr's place.

Asr (2:24 PM today)

Asr begins when the afternoon shadow of an object equals its height, on top of the shadow it cast at noon. In Bellevue today that is 2:24 PM by the standard (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) rule. The Hanafi school waits for double the height, around 45 to 65 minutes later; the method selector above shows that time. Pray it before the sun weakens and yellows near the horizon.

Maghrib (4:48 PM today)

At 4:48 PM today in Bellevue, the sun sets and Maghrib begins. Its window is the shortest of the day, so it is prayed promptly. On fasting days this same moment is iftar: break the fast first, following the Sunnah, with dates or water.

Isha (6:15 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

When the red twilight has gone from the west, Isha begins: 6:15 PM tonight in Bellevue. The night that follows is measured from Maghrib to Fajr; its last third, after Islamic midnight, is the Tahajjud time. Use the Tahajjud calculator to find tonight's last third in Bellevue.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Bellevue (17.70° North)

Prayer is valid only when faced toward the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Bellevue the shortest path over the Earth's surface, the great-circle route, points 17.70° north from true north. The bearing is calculated from Bellevue's coordinates (47.6° N, 122.2° W) to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Along that bearing, the Kaaba is about 7538 miles (12131 km) from Bellevue in a straight line over the Earth's curved surface. From Bellevue, the great-circle line heads across Canada and the North Atlantic before descending toward Arabia.

At home or at work in Bellevue, the Qibla Compass on your phone reads the bearing directly. Calibrate it with a slow figure-eight motion, and keep it clear of metal furniture and electronics that drag the needle. Inside a mosque, the mihrab already marks the direction.

Daylight Saving Time in Washington: The Two Jump Days

Twice a year in Bellevue, the clock moves and every prayer time jumps with it. When daylight saving time begins on 08 Mar 2026, Fajr moves from 5:13 AM to 6:11 AM in a single night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib moves from 6:03 PM to 7:04 PM. When standard time returns on 01 Nov 2026, Fajr moves from 6:25 AM back to 5:26 AM, and sunset prayers come an hour earlier in the evening. Every time on this page already follows the America/Los_Angeles clock in force on that date, so no manual adjustment is ever needed.
