Seattle Nice

Why all the controversy over Seattle’s annual minimum wage hike? And is Amazon’s return to work mandate a positive or negative?

David Hyde, Erica Barnett, and Sandeep Kaushik Season 4 Episode 8

Seattle's minimum wage just hit $20.76 per hour for all businesses. The pod takes a closer look at the hike and the politics of the minimum wage in Seattle. 

Plus, should Seattle sympathize with Amazon workers because they're being forced back to the office 5 days a week? Or should the city celebrate the move, which could help revitalize downtown? We discuss and debate. 

Our editor is Quinn Waller.
