(The Center Square) – A tentative agreement between the City of Seattle and the Seattle Police Officers Guild has been submitted to the city council with retroactive wage increases that make Seattle police officers among the most competitively paid in the state.

If the agreement is approved by the city council, Seattle police officers will see wage increases of 1.3% retroactive to 2021, 6.4% retroactive to 2022, and 15.3% retroactive to 2023. These wage increases are the first for Seattle police officers in three years.
