Seattle minimum wage is $19.97 and it goes up every year. Though it's $17.25 for small businesses if you get tips or they pay for medical benefits.

I'm curious if businesses actually get health insurance for the employees for $275 a month (difference / hour with 40 hour work weeks) and how the quality of the package they get compared to what the employees could get themselves for $275/month.

I'm not familiar with the various healthcare types in America though.
