You're are a bit low, and out of date with your minimum wage. As of the first of the year, Seattle raised it's minimum wage to $16.69 for most workers.

What they pushed through now was an additional $4.00 an our raise to grocery store workers as "Hero Pay".

Combine that with the city's refusal to arrest shoplifters/thieves for anything under a thousand bucks, and I'd be leaving too.
