Seattle’s historic minimum wage law is set to finally take full effect on January 1, 2025. Ten years after the law passed, the city’s minimum wage will reach $20.76, without any special subminimum wage rate for tipped workers. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell also released his statement today, saying, "Seattle has one of the highest minimum wages in the country – this is a good thing for workers, a good thing for our overall economy, and something we should take pride in." Workers are reacting to the city's long-awaited minimum wage increase.
