Watch KING 5 Seattle Live

KING 5 is the NBC station for Seattle and the Puget Sound region. Long a fixture in western Washington, the station serves a wide swath of the Pacific Northwest, from Seattle and its neighboring cities to the communities spread along the Sound and up toward the Cascades.

The Northwest has a distinct sense of place, and KING 5 covers it with a focus on the issues shaping the region. That includes local and regional government, the growth and housing pressures that have transformed the metro, transportation across a landscape divided by water, and public safety in a fast-changing area. Weather coverage reflects the rhythms of the region, tracking the marine air and rainfall that define Northwest winters, mountain snowpack in the Cascades, and the windstorms and river flooding that can arrive with Pacific systems. The station also keeps an eye on the environment and outdoors that mean so much to people here.

Beyond the day's headlines, KING 5 tells the community's stories, covering local schools, neighborhood events, and the sports that draw Puget Sound fans together season after season. For many in western Washington, the station has long been a trusted companion for the news of the day.
