Seattle Adopts New Uniform Minimum Wage Rate

Effective January 1, 2025, Seattle will raise its minimum wage to $20.76 per hour for all employers. Additionally, as of the same date, small businesses will no longer be able to make up any part of the minimum wage with customer tips or payments toward medical benefits for their employees. The new minimum wage will serve as a significant increase, particularly for small businesses who previously relied on the tip or medical expense credit and therefore paid a lower minimum wage. Seattle has the highest minimum wage of any major city in the United States. The new ordinance ensures that Seattle will continue to have one of the highest minimum wages in the country in 2025.
