Yeah Seattle has been under a good amount of pressure since Sea-Tac put through their increase a while back. IIRC the Sea-Tac bill is in a big fight right now over whether or not the airport (which is the major one for the Seattle metro area) is included in the city and has to pay the higher minimum wage. Given the airport employs (either directly, or via the shops there) a lot of the minimum wage earners for the city, it's a priority for both campaigns to fight over.
It'll be interesting to see what Seattle ends up doing in the end, as they set a lot of the precedent for the State. A victory in Seattle for the $15 minimum wage means they'll likely get it on to the state ballot within a year or two.
