    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The minimum wage in Seattle will rise to $22.14 per hour at the start of next year, the Office of Labor Standards announced Monday. That's an increase of 3.9% from the current minimum wage of $21.30. The city's minimum wage ordinance requires the minimum wage to be raised annually to reflect local inflation. Today's announcement means that Seattle's minimum wage will remain one of the highest in the nation. In Washington, the 2026 minimum wage is $17.13 per hour. Federally, it's been set at $7.2

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

Posielski would have to pay an $85 “lease renewal fee,” if he committed within 10 days, even though his lease wasn’t up for six months. Otherwise, the lease renewal fee would start to increase every 10 additional days – to $150 and then to $250. If Posielski needed more than a month to decide, it would grow to $500.
