What??? You mean those old buddy-duddy conservatives are right about people losing their jobs with the new $15/hr. minimum wage? Whoda thunk it.

Company executives insist wages weren't the deciding factor. CascadeDesigns has run out of room and contends it can't afford to expand in the SODO district. "We were all hoping we could move 10 to 20 miles down the road and solve the issue and financially, it literally wasn't viable," he said.
Well then, it looks like wages are indeed the deciding factor, if avoiding the expense of the SODO district doesn't change anything.
Just liberals liberaling, nothing to see here, move along.

Washington’s loss, Nevada’s gain. Liberals will learn nothing from it. Not even any of the 100 losing their jobs, if they are liberals, they’ll chalk it up to “greedy company owners”. There are none so blind as those who will not see.

It might not be this specific wage increase but why expand your business in an environment obviously insesitive to business needs.

One mans lay-off is another mans job opportunity. Wonder how far it’ll be from my house?

One gets hopeful that sometimes events and reality might make them see the truth, but I don't hold my breath any longer after seeing the contortions they can go into to support and defend their worldview.

Seattle is supposed to be the home of some elite thinkers. If they wanted a $15/hour minimum wage, they should’ve started at $10/hour until the economy absorbed that.

” Liberals will learn nothing from it.”
Don’t be too sure about that.
I’ve seen cities in MI lose thousands of jobs due to unions going on strike etc. Today the residents are anti-union radicals, and the state is now RTW.
Today Demonrats control exactly nothing in state government, and they hold no statewide government office.

Welcome to Reno. Moved my company here last summer as well.
Downside is the schools really suck. And very limited and equally questionable private school options.

It probably would have been even wiser to move to Tennessee,Georgia or South Carolina.

So....you open an eatery or sports bar 1/2 mile outside the $15/hr jurisdiction and undercut the city businesses. Make the insanity work FOR you.

I notice Minnesota is NEVER a “go to” state in situations like this.

I notice Minnesota is NEVER a go to state in situations like this. Ditto the Gay State.Businesses are leaving here as fast as they can hire U-Hauls.In my town (eastern Massachusetts) a huge Biotech firm recently closed down their huge,modern headquarters building.It's sure to be housing squatters soon.
