Seattle's $15 Wage Campaign Eyes The Ballot

A Seattle group seeking a $15-an-hour minimum wage has filed paperwork to put the issue to voters. The move aims to increase pressure on Mayor Ed Murray and the City Council to pass a measure this year.

A mayor’s advisory committee is already wrestling with a legislative strategy to increase Seattle’s minimum wage but some advocates want a back-up plan. On Monday, a group called '15 Now' launched a charter amendment campaign to raise city wages.
