KRIZ (1420 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an urban gospel format. Licensed to Renton, Washington, United States, it serves the Seattle area. The station is currently owned by Gloria and Christopher Bennett, through licensee Bennett Media Group, LLC. KRIZ shares its studios with KYIZ in the city's Central District east of downtown, and its transmitter is located in Renton.
KRIZ is one of The Z Twins, two radio stations serving the Puget Sound region, most notably the African-American communities of King and Pierce County, Washington. The Z Twins were so named as, at the time, the company only owned two stations, KRIZ and KZIZ (1560 AM). But after KYIZ (1620 AM) signed on, the name stuck, despite now having three stations in the family.
