That is city of Seattle, Washington state is $17.13 per hour, but some areas in Washington state are even higher than Seattle. Tukwila ($21.65) also will have one of the country's highest citywide minimum wages next year, while Burien ($21.63), Renton ($21.57), Everett ($20.77) and SeaTac ($20.74) will have some of the country's highest rates.

I just found out that Bellingham is $19.13 per hour, apparently they passed some initiative where city minimum wage is two dollars above the state minimum....
Almost looks like we are going into hyperinflation........
Not sure about hyperinflation, but our prices for restaurants and real estate are at least twice of those in most states...
Crazy expensive my friend.......
When our youngest son and his wife had their baby we priced motel rooms in Seattle I was shocked at how high the price had recently jumped!🙄
