Fundamentally, this requires knowledge of timezone data. That means you have to select a political time zone, which basically means you want the Olsen database (tzdata) which primarily works with city names. I'm not sure whether "US/Pacific" is suitable; I usually use "America/Los_Angeles" for Pacific US time. But that aside, what Gary said is what I would recommend.
