Why is Karwa Chauth on Thu 15 Oct in Bothell?

Karwa Chauth is on Thu 15 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:10. Chaturthi: 19:29 to 16:18 Fri.

Chaturthi ended at 16:18; moonrise at 20:51 is Panchami.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 19:29 on Thu 15 Oct to 16:18 on Fri 16 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Thu 15 Oct, at 20:10.

The rule

Kartika Krishna Chaturthi (purnimanta) · Ashwina Krishna Chaturthi (amanta)

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise.

Smarta: the night whose moonrise Chaturthi holds; when it touches both, the earlier; when neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
Vaishnava: the Smarta day.
