Seattle Radio Stations are right here

Seattle is a West Cost seaport city known for being home of big coffee chains (Starbucks, Tully's Coffee, Seattle’s Best), big businesses (Amazon, Microsoft, Costco), grunge (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam) and rain. Although it’s known as the rain city, that doesn’t seem to drive people away. Seattle is the 20th most populated city in the US and according to last year’s census it’s the third fastest-growing city in the US (tied with Fort Worth, Texas).
Seattle’s is not only the home of grunge music, but it’s also the birthplace of many musicians such as Jimmi Hendrix, Kenny G, Macklemore and home avant-garde jazz musicians like Bill Frisell and Wayne Horvitz. Even the early careers of Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, Bumps Blackwell, Ernestine Anderson started in this city.

Its prolific music scene is reflected on the many different genres featured by the Seattle radio stations. According to the market research firm Nielson the Seattle Radio Stations market is extremely important being the 13th largest radio market in the United States. Summing it up, there are more than 300 stations on the Washington state and almost 50 of them are Seattle radio stations. The NPR affiliates KUOW-FM 94.9 and KPLU-FM 88.5, as well as classical music station KING-FM 98.1 and other stations like KEXP-FM 90.3 are some examples of non-commercial Seattle Radio Stations.
