Everett minimum wage: $20.77/hr.
Everett's minimum wage is $20.77/hr effective January 1, 2026. The Everett ordinance applies to employers with at least 15 but not more than 499 employees, OR with at least $2 million in annual gross revenue in Everett. Employers with 14 or fewer employees and under $2M Everett revenue follow the Washington state minimum ($17.13 in 2026). Like all WA cities, no tip credit applies — Everett tipped workers earn $20.77 in cash plus tips.

What those rules do for Everett workers.
The hero card configuration: Block on below-floor, Flag on size-tier rationale.
When a covered Everett worker is paid below $20.77/hr, save fails. Workers at small employers (under coverage threshold) get the state $17.13 floor instead.
Teambridge surfaces the size-tier rationale: 15-499 employees OR $2M+ Everett revenue qualifies for $20.77; under 15 employees AND under $2M qualifies for state floor.

Everett Municipal Code — voter-approved 2024.
Everett's minimum wage was passed by voters in 2024 and took effect July 2024. The 2026 rate is the result of normal annual indexing. Coverage uses both employee count and revenue thresholds.
Coverage threshold
Everett's minimum wage applies to employers with: (a) at least 15 but no more than 499 employees, OR (b) at least $2 million annual gross revenue generated within Everett. The dual test catches both medium-sized businesses and high-revenue local outlets of larger chains.
Small employer carve-out
Employers with 14 or fewer employees AND under $2 million Everett revenue follow the Washington state minimum ($17.13). This is similar in structure to Tukwila but with different thresholds.
Teambridge applies Everett's coverage rules per worker, per shift.
