Went down into (just barely) western Washington today for the Packwood Flea Market. After driving down from White Pass and into the Cowlitz River Valley, I had a surprising bandscan for the location I was in. Take a look! Most signals were weak or multipathed. Only a few stations were clear (local 97.9 translator, KXXO, maybe 1-2 others).
88.1 KWAO Vashon
88.3 something very weak (KBVM Portland?)
88.5 KNKX Tacoma
88.9 KSWS Chehalis
89.1 KFAE Richland (this was a shocker, as was many of the other signals below this! 122 miles in a 1400 foot elev. valley with mountains completely in the way. You can't do this in North Bend...or anywhere in the Seattle metro for that matter.) / very weak KMHD Gresham OR
89.3 KAOS Olympia
89.5 unid very weak...KSOH Wapato likely, didn't sound like the EDM/rhythmic music from KNHC
89.7 (KWWS Walla Walla once passing Hwy 123/Mt. Rainier National Park eastbound, nothing in town)
89.9 KQAC Portland OR
90.1 KOLU Pasco (2 bars in town, same distance and circumstance as KFAE!)
90.3 unid very weak - KEXP?
90.5 CBCV Victoria BC a little above Packwood
90.7 KNWR Ellensburg / KBOO Portland
90.9 KVTI Tacoma
91.1 KYPL Yakima (also shocks me to hear Yakima in this location...) / unid mixing, likely KTJC Kelso
91.3 threshold, likely KCED Centralia, completely blocked here, 61 mi SE of the college
91.5 KOPB-FM Portland OR
91.7 KYFQ Bremerton
91.9 KDNA Granger
92.1 (KUMA-FM Pilot Rock OR just 2-3 miles out of town! 157 mi!)
92.3 KGON Portland OR
92.5 KQMV Bellevue / KZHR Dayton out of town (173 mi!)
92.7 (KMSW The Dalles shortly after the Hwy 123 crossing)
92.9 KDBL Toppenish
93.1 (very weak KRYP Gladstone out of town)
93.3 KJR-FM Seattle / very faint KRKL Walla Walla E of town
93.7 KLSY Montesano
93.9 KPDQ-FM Portland OR
94.1 KSWD Seattle
94.5 KATS Yakima (with no sign of KRXY!)
94.9 KUOW Seattle
95.1 barely a signal from KITI-FM Winlock, figured they were stronger
95.3 weak UNID out of town
95.5 KBFF Portland OR
95.7 KJEB Seattle
95.9 (KRSX Goldendale at the Goat Rocks viewpoint 1000 ft. elev. below White Pass, nothing in town

96.5 KJAQ Seattle
96.9 KYYO McCleary
97.1 KYCH Portland OR, fading to KXRX Walla Walla on the way home
97.3 KIRO-FM Tacoma
97.7 KNWN-FM Oakville
97.9 K250BB Packwood (KACS) relaying the station with 90.5 parent off. 90.5 has been off due to network maintenance and enhancements. Likely coming from webstream, but with a poor modulated signal.
98.1 KING-FM Seattle
98.5 KNBQ Central Park, with an UNID playing Michael Jackson 'The Way You Make Me Feel' about 3-4 mi E of town climbing towards the Hwy 123 junction. My guess is CIOC Victoria BC.
98.7 KUPL Portland
98.9 KNUC Seattle
99.3 KDDS-FM Elma
99.5 KWJJ Portland
99.9 KISW Seattle
100.3 KKRZ Portland
100.5 (KWIQ Moses Lake just a few miles E of town, not noted in town, approx. 120 miles)
100.7 KKWF Seattle
100.9 threshold KARY-FM Grandview but improving east of town
101.1 KXL-FM Portland
101.5 KPLZ Seattle
101.9 KINK Portland
102.1 very faint station in town, but KPQ-FM Wenatchee was very weak above Hwy 123 junction. KSWW may have been in there

102.9 KZTM Centralia (3rd-best signal)
103.1 threshold (KYKV?)
103.3 KKCW Beaverton OR

103.7 KHTP Tacoma

104.9 KTDD Eatonville
105.3 KCMS Edmonds quickly fading to KONA-FM Pasco
