Seattle just started on the MW hikes
most havent taken yet
Seattle has a much higher average wage in the area
Seattle has a much more educated population
Can Seattle handle the $ 15 hr MW.....maybe
Comparing Seattle to Los Angeles makes no sense though.....the cities are in no ways alike
Los Angeles will have a much rougher time acclimating to the new wage than Seattle....and it is still questionable if Seattle can deal with it
You'd be surprised in how the two cities are alike. Both are major ports. Both are politically rather progressive. Both have very ethnically-diverse populations. And Los Angeles is not that bad when it comes to level of educational attainment.
