| #9 Funny why this article isn't referenced in the SeattlestanTimes. And While Pappy may have a point, I have seen enough anecdotal stuff that makes me think its already in play: fewer people in line at food court at the airport, restaurants have fewer cars in the lot; I have decided to buy nothing more in Sea-tac (the city) or the airport. and when the $15 min wage comes into play in Seattle, I will not spend any food $$ there either. |

| #6 Most lefties will convince themselves that small business owners laid off folks to spite the government rather than out of economic necessity. |

| #5 Worked fine for me. Still think, based on the information in the article, that it's too early to attribute it all to the minimum wage hike, not when Obamacare, economic conditions, etc., are in the mix. It'll likely be at least a year or two before there's be some concrete evidence. |

| #1 None of the results are surprising to those who actually know how business works. Enjoy your mandated craptastic city guys. You earned it. |
