Request: Seattle/Tacoma Radio Dials

Hopefully, some one can help me out with this but can someone post some retro Seattle/Tacoma radio dials? Preferrably from the late 60's through 1984 and possibly 1987. If some one could do this I would be greatly appreciative

Don't think they went alternative until the early 80s. Definitely recall them being automated Top 40 around '77/'78. All or mostly voicetracked by legendary Seattle jocks who'd moved on. Lan Roberts was one of them. I think they'd gone live by '79.
