    Postal Service exhibit
    Andrew H.

    I came here for the Postal Service/Deathcab exhibit, and it was incredible! There was also a really fun, inclusive party going on complete with themed drinks! I don't really listen to the station, but I was so impressed by the beautiful space and the friendly faces. Definitely stop in for an event!

    KEXP FM is a Non-Profit, listener supported station located in Seattle Center. Their Tagline is "KEXP's mission is to enrich your life by championing music and discovery". Starting back in the early 70's as a student and volunteer run station. It's grown but that core doesn't seem to have changed much. I tune the dial to 90.3 as on my commute and some legit independent or otherwise not well-known tunes come on from all sorts of rock to reggae and blues and more. The actual site of KEXP is a large hall of sorts where you can hang out, grab a drink or snack from the cafe and listen to the actual broadcast. You can even view the DJ's in the broadcast booth doing their thing. There is a small store selling vinyl of various artists as well KEXP is pretty cool and contributing to community arts I think is a good thing. Drop in and give a listen or tune to 90.3 FM.

    Super cool atmosphere! I was in awe of how much fit into the space without feeling cramped. A coffee bar, record shop, and live music stage?! This is hipster on another level! If I lived around here, I'd want to hang out at KEXP all the time. I visited just before closing today, so sadly didn't get to sit and chill, but would definitely recommend if you're looking for fun, approachable arts and culture activities in the city.

    Worked on a promotion with a client in which we used the KEXP space for a charitable event and concert celebration. Wonderful place, with kind people, great music and amazing coffee.

    Everything you need in one space to work, hang out, meet with friends or colleagues. I can't think of a better space for music and radio lovers to enjoy and support their local station.

    I love listening to KEXP and getting to see their communal space at Seattle Center is fun. It's like a big cafeteria space so the decor itself isn't that great, but it is functional and gets plenty of use.

    Great place to chill and hangout with your friends and family! It is also huge inside!! You can also seat comfortably with their leather sofa and high back chase!! There is also a gallery towards the back, where you will view up and coming local artist! Concerts are played here so make sure to check their schedules. They are located right in the heart of Seattle City Center, right next to the fountain. They have three clear glass garage door, overlooking the courtyard and on a nice day, it will let the air in, and you will have the feeling of nature from the inside. This is also a very famous radio station KEXP, and they broadcast some of the finest music with eclectic genre. Both my espresso and cappuccino were fantastic, and all their staff were very kind. Until then, be kind to one another and Cheers! ~ :p

    Live broadcast in the studio and on the big screen in the lounge shared with La Marzocco.

    Had the opportunity to chill in adjacent La Marzocco for about 2 hours, where live broadcast from KEXP is played. Great selection of music played (can catch glimpses of the actual DJ) while I was immersed in the urban people watching and reading culinary magazines. Very hard to resist not getting up and dancing...especially when a nostalgic Talking Heads song played reminding me of carefree college days at UW. Saw two rounds of folks stream in for live performances in the studio. Really cool to have music accessible to all ages, including bands playing a few live sets before heading to the last day of the Capitol Hill Bock Party. Love the big screen so all of us in the cafe can also share in the music in real time. Totally privy to the creative spirit!

    Love their latte!

Then - BOOM: "30 seconds to air!" Well damn... guess no going to the bathroom for the next hour.. Sean was great on the fly working with all the interviews and promoting other programs on our show.

The announcers often babble on inanely and on occasion make major blunders in their comments. And the station has fallen prey to being less concerned about the quality of the music and more concerned about the identity of the composer. The "The Classical KING FM Commitment to Diversity" page shows the station is in a self-defeating identity crisis. Finally, KING has no programming even close in quality to something like Karl Haas "Adventures in Good Music". In comparison, KING is superficial and chatty. Despite the big flaws, the station is commercial-free classical music, with good reception, hence the positive rating.

Like pretty much every station they have some good hits that are awesome, and then a bunch in the rotation that play too often. I get a little worn out with Lynyrd Skynyrd Freebird since it plays so often and definitely Stone Temple Pilots and Nirvana. Don't get me wrong. I love those bands! They just get play a lot, same songs too. Love it when they get some Guns N Roses or Ozzy going to wake me up in the traffic. The main thing that gets me tuned in is BJ Shea and Sarah. They're a good duo. My sizzling Hot take - Danny Bonaduce stepping down was a good move. I liked him, he was funny, and his "hot take" segments were funny, but his Life coach segment was ill advised. He'd often advise guys who had a friend cheating on their spouse to say nothing and even help them cover it up if need be. Like dude, that is not bro code. So, BJ Shea has taken it over and it's an improvement. Sorry Danny! Rock on KZOK.

They deliver with tunes with lots of 80's pop, rock, hip-hop, soul, ballads and more. Plenty of artists... Huey Lewis & the news, Van Morrison, Madonna, Run DMC, Sade, Billy Paul...I think they do a good job mixing it up overall. I know there's complaints of repeated songs, but 95.7 is way better than the other stations I listen to. The Jet's morning show with Jodi and Bender is without a doubt the best of all the stations I tune into during my morning commute. I love playing along and laughing at the 'Puget Sound Showdown' - a quiz game where two random callers compete with one another (and Jodi or Bender who take turns) the other will be the question asker. First person to 5 correct answers wins - usually tickets to a show, bragging rights and move on to play again for the title. Listening in and playing along usually results in a laugh to get my day started which is always good. Jodi and Bender also do is a string of songs within a segment called "three songs we don't normally play, but probably should". The Listener chooses a song, Jodi chooses one, and Bender chooses one. Often times the listener chooses something uncommon like a random Tom Petty song, but still occasionally gets played but Jodi and Bender pull some random, and I mean random stuff out sometimes. I was listening one morning, and Jodi put on freakin' The Never-ending Story theme song by Limahl. I don't think it gets any more random and 80's than that. Yeah 95.7 The Jet is awesome. Tune in (can be done on their website too)

In terms of a radio station, it's awesome that they are playing eclectic music on FM. There is a wide array of content, from all walks of life. The owner is awesome, and should be commended for his efforts and making this place a reality. In terms of a volunteer organization, it absolutely fails. I volunteered there for several years, and found it to be very cliquey. Aside from one or two people, volunteers with more seniority make zero attempt to make you feel welcome, resulting in a high turnover of enthusiastic new members who stop coming after a few times. No one introduces themselves. Countless times I'd walk in to the station to be un-greeted, and looked over with apathy and indifference. It was so palpable at times, that it killed my enthusiasm and made me leave. Most of the contact between volunteers is done through email and Slack, a cloud-based collaboration tool. All of the regulars are quick to respond to one another, pat themselves on the back, and quick to tell you when you're doing something wrong, but if you have a question, they literally never, ever get back to you, unless they need something from you. That's the reason new people don't stick around, and that's the reason I left. Actual face-to-face meetings felt like a cool kids table. If you are a self-motivated, DIY kinda person who wants to have a radio show, you are certainly given the tools to get you there. If you want to feel like you a part of a community, you are ranked based on age, melanin, and genitalia. There's a lot of younger volunteers who pollute the meetings seeming to care nothing about music, professionalism, egalitarianism, and instead want to wear a provocative t-shirt and push their political agendas and SJW ideologies. Literally, the biggest safe space banner you will ever see hangs on the wall as a constant reminder that you're only welcome in this spot, if you fit the criteria. People went out of their way to make me feel unwelcome. A few times I was working in the station during a new member orientation, listening to the organizer with ill-fitted attire and a water bottle with an Antifa sticker say "like" every other word, and repeatedly making it clear that they don't want "bands with like, all white guys, like, playing shows here". No one is there to reprimand this unprofessional behavior, resulting in less than 1/10 of the new volunteers each meeting sticking around more than a few weeks. I suppose in defense of H.E.R., you're only as good as your volunteer base. I hope some fresh faces with outgoing personalities really clean up the place, but you'll, like, have the cards, like, stacked against you.
