Some grocery store workers in unincorporated areas of King County will soon receive an extra $4 per hour after King County Council became the latest local government to pass hazard pay legislation.
The council approved the legislation Tuesday in an 8-1 vote. The move came after Seattle and Burien both passed hazard pay legislation earlier this year to help provide grocery store workers extra compensation during the coronavirus pandemic.
