Alaska is the westernmost AND the easternmost U.S. state. Hawaii is in the Eastern Hemisphere. Most of Alaska is in the Western Hemisphere. The Aleutian Islands are part of Alaska. The 180th meridian (the International Date Line) crosses the Aleutian Islands making Alaska the westernmost U.S. state in the Western Hemisphere. Part of Alaska's Aleutian Islands are on the other side of the 180th meridian (the International Date Line). Therefore that part of Alaska is in the Eastern Hemisphere and makes Alaska also the easternmost U.S. state.

Whereas the most westerly point of the Hawaiian archipelago (Ni'ihau Island) is 160o 14' West. Some 19o east of Semisopochnoi. And at 155o 37' West, Hawaii is even further East.
