The Gravity Falls Wiki has just edited the timeline to say the show is set in the summer of 2013. I don't like this. The only evidence is a 2012 tax form (more likely available in early 2013 than 2012, but still possible in the summer of 2012) in one of the stories in "Bottomless Pit!". (Also Creggy G. says "twenty thirteen" while kissing a tree, but given his complete lack of knowledge that could mean nothing).

The calendar Stan holds up in Summerween has a date arrangement that matches 2012. I'm going to hold out for that year, because otherwise the twins have to be born in 2001 and the leap-year mention that Mabel makes in "The Inconveniencing" breaks down.
