Washington is farther from the equator than California. The closer you get to the equator, the less the amount of daylight per day deviates from 12 hours. The closer you get to the poles, the greater the difference in the amount of daylight between the summer solstice and the winter solstice.
I used to live between 40° and 41° north latitude. The amount of daylight there on the summer solstice is about 15 hours, and it's about 9 hours on the winter solstice. Now I live near 30° north latitude, where we get about 14 hours of daylight on the summer solstice and about 10 hours on the winter solstice.
California observes daylight saving time to make better use of natural daylight during the longer days of summer. By moving the clocks forward in the spring, the evening hours have more daylight, which can help save energy and promote outdoor activities.
California observes Daylight Saving Time to make better use of daylight during the longer days of spring and summer. This practice aims to reduce energy consumption, promote outdoor activities, and align with other states that also observe Daylight Saving Time.
No, it is not. In fact, when the Northern hemisphere is having longer days, the Southern hemisphere is having shorter days (and conversely).
Because it takes a longer time to rotate than earth does
The daylight hours are shortest during the winter solstice, which usually occurs around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and June 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. At this time, the sun is at its lowest point in the sky, resulting in the shortest duration of daylight.

In southern Ontario, after December 21, the increase in daylight hours per day typically averages about 2 to 3 minutes. This gradual increase continues as the winter solstice passes, leading to longer days as spring approaches. By early March, the increase becomes more noticeable, with daylight lasting significantly longer as the days progress toward the equinox.

Days get `longer` between June 21st and December 21st for the southern Hemisphere, while they get shorter for those in the northern hemisphere. Between December 21st and June 21st, the days get longer for those in the northern hemisphere and shorter for those in the southern hemisphere.
The time between sunrise and sunset is a little longer each day from the December solstice to the June solstice in the northern hemisphere and from the June solstice to the December solstice in the southern hemisphere.

The longest night of the year in the Southern Hemisphere typically occurs around June 21st during the winter solstice. This is when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted furthest away from the sun, resulting in shorter daylight hours and longer nights.
Spring typically lasts for about three months, approximately from March to June in the Northern Hemisphere and from September to December in the Southern Hemisphere. It is a season known for blooming flowers, warming temperatures, and longer daylight hours.
In the summer, days are longer with more daylight hours due to the Earth's tilt towards the sun. This results in shorter nights. In the winter, days are shorter with fewer daylight hours because of the Earth's tilt away from the sun, leading to longer nights.
