KXPA (1540 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Bellevue, Washington, United States, serving the Seattle metropolitan area. It is part of the nationwide Multicultural Radio Broadcasting network, one of 30 stations owned by Arthur Liu, which cater to minority and immigrant communities with programs in their native languages.

The transmitter is located off 118th Avenue SE in Bellevue, near Kelsey Creek.[1] KXPA is powered at 5,000 watts. But at night, to avoid interfering with other stations on 1540, KXPA uses a directional antenna, with much of the signal pointed west over Seattle and Puget Sound.
