Silicon Valley may be a world onto its own but here in Seattle/Bellevue area, it's business casual for the most part. At my site, most people were nice jeans and a shirt of some sort, occasionally, you'll see someone dressing less than that and occasionally with clients, business suits and/or ties, but not too often. Heck, even our executives were business casual but pretty much everyone looks decent, even the maintenance/janitorial staff were work related polos and jeans.
Most people are at work between 8-9AM but if they go in late or early, they get off at the appropriate hour accordingly.
However, when I worked at the mortgage company, we had to instill something of a dress code for there'd be people insisting on wearing tops that showed midriffs, flip flops etc - in essence, one had to be presentable at all times.
Now for warehouse and other type of jobs, overalls/coveralls etc are much more appropriate attire but at places like T-mobile, a TV station on crew etc, business casual is generally the attire of choice.
