Seattle Radio Online: Stations Streaming Live

You can listen to Seattle radio online in any browser, with no download and no account: open 72FM, search for a station's name, and press play. Seattle is the home of KEXP, one of the most admired music stations in the world, and of grunge — and the rest of its dial has hits, rock and community radio.

The sound of the city

Seattle gave the world grunge in the late 1980s and early 90s, and it remains one of America's great music cities. Further north, Alaska radio online covers the state. Grunge radio and indie radio go further.

A little history

KEXP began in 1972 as KCMU, a student station at the University of Washington, and took its current name in 2001. Its filmed live sessions have since made it one of the best-known music stations in the world.

Listening from elsewhere

Seattle keeps Pacific time — eight hours behind UTC in winter and seven in summer. Portland radio online covers the city's stations.
