Nurses with the Washington State Nurses Association (WSNA) union will vote on a contract at the end of the week that could lead to an ‘unprecedented’ hourly raise at Seattle Children's Hospital.

The new contract would offer a $10/hour raise for all 1,700 nurses represented by WSNA over the next year. By August 2024, the base rate for newly-graduated nurses will be the highest in the city at $47.60/hour, according to WSNA.
