88.5 KPLU was a Jazz and News station in Tacoma, Washington from 1966 until 2016. It was established by (K) Pacific Lutheran University located in Parkland, WA. After learning that Pacific Lutheran was in quiet negotiations with the University of Washington to sell the station and incorporate it into UW's KUOW, a group called Friends of 88.5 managed to raise $7 million dollars to purchase KPLU and nix the deal. The newly independent station changed call letters to KNKX ("Connects") in August, 2016.
