Seattle Washington close to $15 minimum wage

Seattle Fight for $15

In an interesting and slightly ironic footnote this statue of Lenin is located in Seattle.

The city of Seattle Washington is fighting for $15 dollar minimum wage.  As CNN reports they are close to achieving this goal.

Seattle’s Mayor Murray is looking to raise minimum wage to $15 an in 3 to 7 years, not quite the $15 per hour that the fast food strikers are calling for today.  It could even go as high as $18 by 2025 if the projected CPI numbers prove correct.
