KYPT (96.5 FM) was a commercial radio station located in Seattle, Washington. KYPT airs an all-'80s hits format branded as '96.5 The Point'.

On December 22, 1999, Infinity Broadcasting flipped KYCW-FM 'Young Country 96.5' (previously call letters, brand) to KYPT, played the all-80's hits format. It gained huge popularity in the market, but slowly slipped in the ratings because the format, which was simply a fad, was starting to fade.

On December 19, 2003, KYPT flipped to Classic Alternative Rock as '96-5 K-Rock'. The station changed call letters to KRQI on New Year's Day, 2004. On April 22, 2005, KRQI flipped to its current Adult Hits format as '96-5 Jack FM'. The call letters were changed to KJAQ on May 7, 2005.
