Yep, the article linked by the OP said only 3% of the stores would be affected by this new law.
Yeah, right, Seattle Commission clowns. Look for higher prices for the consumers from that 3%.

This tax is a horrible idea, which will hopefully be barred by the state. But on the plus side, people in Seattle are finally pissed. This pushed people too far. The public is overwhelmingly against this tax and pretty angry that the council passed it despite their protests. I think you'll see a large number of the council members who supported this voted out next year.

It's lying of the highest order. What these commissioner clowns said was that it "affects 3% of businesses" or something along those lines.
What those idiots deliberately left out was that it is the largest 3% of businesses in the city and those businesses probably comprise many multiples of that as a % of workers in Seattle (probably 25+%). What they include in that total denominator are things like bars, restaurants, dry cleaners, ice cream stores, etc., etc., not just major companies.
