I was up at Discovery Bay not far from Port Townsend over the weekend and here's what I got. Not much surprised me here.
88.1 can't remember the exact call but CBC Vancouver
88.5 KNKX/Tacoma, WA
88.7 unid NPR, matched NPR news on KNKX.
88.9 can't remember calls but French music station from Victoria.
89.3 KVIX/Port Angeles, WA
89.5 KNHC/Seattle, WA
89.7 CJSU/Dunkin, BC
89.9 KXIR/Freeland, WA
90.1 unid strong classical signal, appeared to match KVTI.
90.3 KEXP/Seattle, WA
90.5 CBCV/Victoria, BC
90.7 KSER/Everett, WA
90.9 two stations, likely KVTI/Tacoma, WA and CBUX/Vancouver, BC
91.1 KROH/Port Townsend, WA
91.3 CJZN/Victoria, BC
91.5 KSQM/Sequim, WA
91.7 KYFQ/Tacoma, WA
91.9 KPTZ/Port Townsend, WA not as strong as expected
92.1 CBU-FM-1/Victoria, BC
92.5 KQMV/Bellevue, WA
92.9 KISM/Bellingham, WA
93.1 CKYE/Surrie, BC
93.3 KUBE/Seattle, WA
93.7 CJJR/Vancouver, BC
94.1 KSWD/Seattle, WA
94.5 CFBT/Vancouver, BC
94.9 KUOW/Seattle, WA
95.3 CKZZ/Vancouver, BC
95.7 KJR-FM/Seattle, WA have they dropped their iHeart 80s weekend?
96.1 CHKG/Vancouver, BC
96.5 KJAQ/Seattle, WA
96.9 what are the calls of that station these days? Thought they were CKLG, but that's 104.3.
97.3 KIRO-FM/Tacoma, WA
97.7 CBUF/Vancouver, BC
98.1 KING/Seattle, WA
98.5 CIOC/Victoria, BC
98.9 KNUC/Seattle, WA
99.3 CFOX/Vancouver, BC
99.7 CBUF-FM-9/Victoria, BC
99.9 KISW/Seattle, WA
100.3 CKKQ/Victoria, BC not as strong as expected, I expected a full stereo signal right away as happened with the other Victoria signals but had to fiddle to get it in stereo
100.5 CFRO/Vancouver, BC
100.7 KKWF/Seattle, WA
101.1 CFMI/Vancouver, BC
101.3 unid Huskies, KONP translator from Port Angeles? That thing really gets out, as I've gotten it on Camano Island before.
101.5 KPLZ/Seattle, WA
102.1 KSTI/Port Angeles, WA mixing with something else likely KAPS translator. Does anyone know if they use the same satelite feed?
102.5 KZOK/Seattle, WA
102.7 CKPK/Vancouver, BC
102.9 is it KZTI? The Centralia station
103.1 CHTT/Victoria, BC
103.3 KZNW/Oak Harbor, WA
103.5 CHQM/Vancouver, BC
103.7 KHTP/Seattle, WA
104.1 KAFE/Bellingham, WA
104.3 CKLG/Vancouver, BC
104.5 KLSW/Covington, WA
104.9 new station from Sequim that I can't remember the calls, this was the most surprising thing I got. I was expecting Vancouver, but actually Vancouver stations weren't all that strong, neither were Seattle.
105.3 KCMS/Edmonds, WA
105.7 CBU/Vancouver, BC
106.1 KBKS/Tacoma, WA
106.5 KWPZ/Lyndon, WA
106.9 KRWM/Bremerton, WA
107.3 CHBE/Victoria, BC
107.7 KNDD/Seattle, WA
107.9 unid talk likely CILS/Victoria, BC
 
102.9 KZTM Centralia, which I get all over Ellensburg with a variable signal. Full stereo in some spots.
96.9's recent calls are CJAX. I think I heard that 107.9 in Edmonds a few times. I believe it was a French station. The former Saltspring Island station never came in, but boy does that 92.1 ever get out. When 82 makes the downhill curve from Manastash Ridge into the Kittitas Valley, CBU-FM1 is like a local for miles. I think Mt. Stuart reflects off of it.
90.1 is KNWP Port Angeles which I used to get faintly when I lived over in your neck of the woods. Had to find the sweet spot with the KEXP HD hash, however.
88.1 is CBU-2 Vancouver, 88.9 is CBUX-FM1. I miss hearing that 88.9 and their eclectic French music/jazz format.
Apparently KONP added a new translator on 101.3 in Sequim. K267CT are the calls. That came out of left field when I looked it up, but apparently the CP was granted in November last year. I remember when they were on 102.1 and eventually went down to 101.7, and this was before KSTI went on. The 101.7 made it all the way to Marysville, what a flamethrower that was. If CHLY wasn't on top of it first!
104.9 is KZQM. This is where the classic hits format went ex-102.1. At least there's more to listen to up that way. Many years ago when I went on a family trip to Clallam Bay/Sekiu, my poor FM radio hardly got anything...yet AM was loaded with Victoria/Vancouver/Mt. Vernon. I have a classmate here at CWU who lives way up there.
 
Interesting. I was expecting the KONP translator on 101.7 but as I recall it didn't come in. It does get out though. Any idea what the 88.7 would be? It did match the NPR news on 88.5, but didn't get an ID on it. Those Victoria stations really do well over there.

Pretty sure that's the Bellingham translator for KNKX on 88.7.

Nice catch there!
 
Interesting, didn't realize they had a signal on 88.7 up there. I knew they had 88.9 in the Skadget Valley, but didn't know about the 88.7 signal.
 
I think KNKX still has their Mount Vernon 105.5 as well. It has a CP on Radio Locator to move to 105.1, Anacortes, and decrease power to 14.5 watts. When they were using 91.1 prior to KROH signing on, that translator went out forever. Routinely had them all over Lynnwood, Bothell, Mill Creek...
