Way to Go, Seattle!

This morning at Y while exercising I saw on TV news crawler that Seattle's City Council approved a phased-in $15 minimum wage which is highest in the nation. I don't know any more details, not sure how long the phase-in process is, but that is good news. I suspect the cost of living is higher in Seattle, but people need a chance at a living wage. I hope other cities/states follow this lead.
