Print A new poll of 400 Seattle voters, taken last week, shows a sharp drop in support for a $15-an-hour minimum wage, just as Seattle Mayor Ed Murray is preparing to send a recommendation to the Seattle City Council. The survey by Portland-based DHM asked voters if they would favor increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour in 2015, with a phase-in for small businesses and non-profits with 10 or fewer employees.
