Burien minimum wage debate takes unusual turn as initiative supporters back business owners’ concerns Supporters of Burien’s voter-approved minimum wage initiative have publicly backed many of the concerns raised in an open letter to the city by approximately 36 local business owners, creating an unusual alliance over the city’s handling and implementation of the law while related litigation remains unresolved.
