Note that this also includes agricultural employees (not that there's much commercial harvesting within city limits) and tipped employees (with temporary exceptions; see below.) Washington state's minimum wage applies equally to agricultural and tipped employees.

"By 2017 (2018, if they contribute towards a qualified employee medical plan), Schedule 1 employers [those who employ >500, and also many franchises] will be required to pay their Seattle employees at least $15.00 per hour. Schedule 2 employers must reach a minimum wage of $15.00 per hour by 2021 and can combine wages, tips, bonuses, and health insurance benefits to meet this minimum only until 2019. After these phase-in periods, the wage increases will be tied to inflation."
