Station was actually 23rd Washington state broadcasting station, not the 5th
I have removed the statement that "KRKO was the fifth radio station in Washington to receive a license from the Department of Commerce" because this isn't close to being true. For example, the Department of Commerce's June 30, 1922 edition of Commercial and Government Radio Stations of the United States lists a total of 20 broadcasting stations in Washington ("Broadcasting Stations", Commercial and Government Radio Stations of the United States (edition June 30, 1922), pages 70-72), as of six weeks before KRKO's original grant, on August 17, 1922, as KFBL:

By my count, KFBL was actually Washington state's 23rd broadcasting station grant:
