• Seattle minimum wage set to increase to $22 in 2027 (fox13seattle.com) — Renton currently offers a higher minimum wage than Seattle, but that will change when Seattle's rate rises to $22.14 an hour on January 1, 2027. While the increase applies only within Seattle city limits, it could influence regional labor markets and how Renton employers compete for workers in the coming years.
