You should! Housing is super cheap here, water views are a bargain, easy traffic, fresh food markets on every corner where the food is practically free! Don't wait, act now!

I willing to bet rent will go up if $15 an hour is the min wage.

Why cant people get that if wages have been the same for a long time now. Yet the price of goods have gone up along with rent , gas and so on. What do you think is going to happen to the price of goods if $15 is the new min wage. I can tell you this much the price of goods is never going to go down that is for sure.

You should only move here if you are trained at installing touch screen ordering systems or fry and burger making machines.

I really have to find out what companies make those so I can buy stock in them.

Here come the slackers....


Ed Murray is an idiot. I hope folks in Seattle pass a citizen's resolution to save small business and jobs for teens and the lesser skilled, rather than college educated slackers. The $15 minimum wage is beyond idiotic policy. It is regressive and destructive. Shame on Ed Murray and his war on the small guy.

For small businesses (defined as under 500 employees) it's to be phased in over seven years.
