"Seattle radio election coverage: the good, the bad, and the insufficient ..."

Michael Hood (BlatherWatch):
Komonewsradiologo-289x300 KOMOAM/FM will provide the most extensive radio coverage locally with anchors Lisa Brooks and Brian Calvert; analysis with The Commentators, John Carlson & Ken Schram and local field reports from KOMO 4’s Bryan Johnson, and updates from ABC News on significant national races.

KUOW will run live NPR feed from 6p with Marcie Sillman coming in from 8 to 9p for local election coverage and commentary. (photo: Marci Sillman)

Peter weissbachKVI will lead from 8 to 10p with Kirby Wilbur pontificating Republicanly, and Peter Weissbach dusting off insightful remarks he made in 2001. Carleen Johnson hosts top and bottom of the hour local news content, with national help from the Fox News feed.

KIROFM was once a big player on election night but now in its somewhat diminished state will run election coverage if the Whiffle Soccer Battle of the Talk Show Hosts doesn’t go into overtime.Ron bra2_b Northwest Nights with Frank Shiers Show will start when the game is over and will have Ron & Don doing election analysis, celebrity dish, and Frank reading newspapers and fresh live reads of car dealership spots. (Photo right: Ron brings a lot to any discussion)

KTTH, "The Truth," will leave all stones unturned, and run the usual syndicated tape-delayed Dr. Laura (who's expected to pick a favorite in NY-23).

KING 5.com will have election night webcast streaming beginning at 8p anchor Carolyn Douglas will interview political analysts with video reports and live shots from candidate headquarters. KING 5’s 10 & 11PM newscasts will also be live on the web.
Howie P.S.: The KING 5 webcasts look like the best bet to me.
