Radio KNBQ-FM (Q Country 102.9)

KNBQ (102.9 FM) is a country music formatted radio station in the Seattle, Washington, area. It became active in the 1990s. In the early 2000s, Centralia-licensed KNBQ moved to a taller tower, providing better coverage to become a Seattle-market station.

This station signed on in 1980 as KELA. In 1983 this station changed its callsign to KELA-FM, but only held this callsign for less than a month, before the calls changed to KMNT. The country music format and KMNT calls are now on 104.3 fm. This station's signal does not serve Seattle. In the 1980s the call letters KNBQ were on 97.3 now KIRO-FM, which at the time broadcast a top-40 format. DJs included Ric Hansen mid-days, Beau "Rockin'" Roberts at night.

This station is now located in downtown Tacoma, with broadcast, promotion and sales staffed with professional, full time employees.
