Lynnwood starts discussion on potential minimum wage increase
EVERETT — The city of Lynnwood will start gathering community input on a possible minimum wage increase after a City Council discussion Monday.
Last month, council member Isabel Mata started conducting research on the minimum wage after gauging interest from other council members. She directed city staff to put a minimum wage discussion on a future meeting agenda.
On Monday, all council members said they were in favor of gathering community input on what a minimum wage increase would mean for the city.
“I think we owe it to the community to at least do the research,” council Vice President Derica Escamilla said.
