88.5 KNKX Prepares To Move Seattle Studios

[KNKX Reports] KNKX is moving out of its longtime office and studios in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. For much of its history — as KPLU for 50 years and as KNKX since 2016 — the station has maintained studios in both Seattle and Tacoma, and a connection with both communities. The station broadcasts emanate from Tacoma for all dayparts while the Seattle studios are being relocated to its new home near Pike Place Market.

In March 2022, KNKX announced the plan to relocate its Seattle studios into the Madore Building at 1501 Western Ave, Seattle. The plan builds on KNKX’s successful move to Tacoma’s Theater District in 2019. To support this new effort, KNKX launched a $5.8 million fundraising campaign called KNKX Next.
