Minimum wage is going up in Washington. Here's how much

Washington’s minimum wage will climb to $16.66 an hour next year, a 38-cent-an-hour increase, the state Department of Labor & Industries announced Monday.

The change takes effect on Jan.1, 2025.

Washington’s current rate, $16.28 an hour, is the highest state-level minimum wage in the nation. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour.

Cities can set minimum wages higher than the state. Seattle, SeaTac, Tukwila, Renton, Bellingham, and Burien all will have higher wages in 2025.
