Starting in April 2015, the minimum wage in Seattle, WA, will begin a gradual increase to $15 per hour. As of 2017, most low-wage jobs for large employers (more than 500 employees) must pay $15 per hour (all employers come up to this level by 2021), and the minimum wage rate will automatically increase with inflation.
