The mandate stipulates that they can get minimum wage, I wouldn’t call that a “regular” wage, and certainly not a livable one.

Seattle and its surrounding cities have among the highest minimum wages in the entire world (~$22/hour). You're maybe not renting a studio apartment by yourself but it is far from destitution.

You can get a pretty decent 1 bedroom apartment in the U district of Seattle on $22/hour, such as [1].

A full-time job should allow at least for a moderate place of living alone, otherwise it's not a minimum wage.

I mean it's still rough if you want to live close to downtown, but it's also $21.30/hr and going to go up in 2027.
