99.7 K259BG (South Sound LP/Chehalis) and 102.1 K271BS (South Sound LLC/Auburn), both currently relaying KOMO 97.7/Oakville, have been sold to H&S Partners (David Hartman & Gregory Smith). KOMO AM & FM are part of a sale of Sinclair’s radio stations to Lotus. Once the sale completes, the call letters for AM 1000 Seattle and 97.7 Oakville will be changed, as the deal does not include any KOMO branding.
ANNOUNCEMENT: This photo was taken while covering a tough story— I felt it fitting to share with tough news. I have made the extremely difficult decision to leave Q13FOX News. While it is sad, I’m choosing to be happy that I get to spend more time with the family I was away from for more than 12 years— After years of tough schedules— I finally have the time to focus on my health and MY well-being…The last two years at Q have helped me grow as a journalist and I am so grateful for the time I spent there— It will always be the station that brought me home. I hope you will continue to support the talented journalists at KCPQ that tell your stories each and every day…

Will it be Spanish language music or English talk shows on 1000khz? All of Lotus’ AM stations are either of those formats. Interesting to ponder 50,000 watts of mariachi tunes blasting western Washington.
