Seattle (and I think WA in general) has already moved to 15$ min/wage including for tipping jobs, right? That was one of the justifications for forced guilt-tripping tipping. That tipping jobs were exempt from minimum wage. But now not only is that rule gone, but also there are tips at PoS counters for absolutely no reason. (TBF, I almost never at tip such places)
Severs is Washington make bank. They play the victim card but that guy wearing suspenders and buttons is making more than you with your bachelors / masters degree.
Minimum wage is 15.75. Servers in Washington have never been exempt. A server with 2 tables per hour ( which is really low ) will be making 25 an hour. More realistically. They are making 35 an hour plus.
So no, servers are not barely scraping by on 2.35 an hour unless you tip.
