Seattle city officials said the minimum wage will increase to over $22 an hour beginning Jan. 1, 2027.
The raise is mandated by Seattle’s Minimum Wage Ordinance, which calls for regular wage adjustments.
The city has rolled out several wage hikes in the past, and this step follows the ordinance’s established schedule of increases.
