Amazon limits cash Corp to $160K and pays the rest in stock so the law might have covered 100% of their employees. Would have expected to see them quickly take that to $190K though.

Seriously doubt that stock is not counted as income for the Seattle law, as stock vesting is reported on your W2.

Pretty sure this depends on the types of stock that are granted (e.g. RSU vs ISO).

Amazon grants RSUs which are absolutely counted as compensation/earnings for the purpose of this law. https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=49.62.010

But only in the year they were vested. If you’re not in an vesting year then it doesn’t count.
