My understanding is that the International Date Line zig zags around the Aleutian Islands, so Alaska is firmly in the West and not at all in the East.

But if the International Date Line followed 180 degrees longitude exactly, then in that alternate universe, some of those islands would be in the far far East while the others are in the far far West.
