Built in 1959 the former studios and transmitter site of KRKO radio on Lowell-Larimer Road are up for sale. Here’s a description of the property from the recent real estate listing

Rare opportunity to purchase a fully functioning radio broadcast facility. Updated 1800SF primary building incl. 3 beds/private offices, 1.75 baths, large great room/flex office space, dining room, and kitchen w/granite countertops and bar area. Large re-sealed and striped parking area w/ample room for vehicles or RV storage. Secure storage under building for addt’l parking or storage. 7.71 acres of level land may accommodate various uses. Outbuilding w/backup generator can power entire facility.

The KRKO radio studios moved to downtown Everett in 1997. A new transmitter and towers operate from a site in the Snohomish River Valley where the station began broadcasting at 50,000 watts in 2009. The Larimer Road location remained as a backup with a fully functioning transmitter and towers.

For the last several years the remodeled station studios have been a rental but now the full property is for sale. Truly a unique opportunity for someone to own a piece of Everett history on nearly 8 acres with a great view of the valley. Asking price: $650,000.00.
