Description
On Monday night, Renton city council members voted to reject a proposal to raise the minimum wage and instead move the initiative to the February 2024 Special Election.
Currently, the statewide minimum wage is $15.74 an hour. The initiative was led by Raise the Wage Renton to increase it to more than $19.
The resolution was moved by Councilmember Carmen Rivera and seconded by Councilmember Ruth Pérez. Council members James Alberson, Jr., Ryan McIrvin, Valerie O'Halloran, Ed Prince and Kim-Khánh Văn voted against passing the resolution.
