And this applies to servers as well where the usually make an even lower wage than minimum? That's fantastic. Also appreciate the fact that it was a unanimous vote, I want to keep hoping for basic income nation-wide.

As far as I know that doesn't apply in Washington. I've never heard of any server here being paid less than min wage. It's min wage plus tips always.

I see. Here in AZ the minimum wage is 7.80 and a whole three dollars lower for servers at 4.80.

Servers must make minimum wage through employer's pay and tips. If the server is not tipped enough, the employer must make up the difference to bring the server's hourly wage up to the minimum.
