The Seattle City Council approved a retroactive pay increase Tuesday for Seattle Police Department officers that would put starting salaries over $100,000.
The Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG) had already approved the deal, as did the Seattle Mayor’s Office, and calls for a 1.3% wage increase in 2021, a 6.4% increase in 2022, and a 15.3% increase in 2023. The officers will be paid in a one-time lump sum, but a City Council central staff document also says the cost is more than anticipated and will add to the already $230 million budget deficit.
It does not cover 2024 and beyond.
The vote was 8-1, with only Councilmember Tammy Morales opposing the raises. The starting salary is now $103,000.
