I am surprised (but relieved) this is failing here in liberal Washington. thank goodness we escape the governments boot for another day. But it looks like Seattle will try a job killing $15 minimum wage.

I think the $15 minimum wage applies only to Seatac airport and surrounding business workers. About 300 total will be affected. Disclaimer - I have not checked this fact thoroughly. Looks like it is an experiment. Minimum wage in WA state is already the highest in country (almost $10/hr).

If there had been a (D) next to the initiative on the ballot, it would have passed easily. I despise the brain-dead King County electorate that controls this state.

Boy, that will teach me to only look at KingCo’s results. I only had a few seconds to look at someone’s computer screen and the page had 522 passing handily.

As you say - thank goodness the rest of the state isn’t following the Seattlunatics!

I’d like to know what’s in my organic grain but I don’t see it in the labeling. Don’t I have a right to know, too?

Personally, I want to know if genetically modified stuff is part of my family’s food. I support local growers who plant and tend their crops, not huge corporations like Monsanto that finance elections to preserve their market share over consumers right to know.
