KWPX is an Ion (formerly PAX and i) television station serving Seattle, Washington and Bellevue, Washington, owned by ION Media Networks, formerly Paxson Communications. KWPX signed on the air as KBGE on May 17 1989. KWPX's local administrative office is shared with Belo Corporation's KING-TV, just east of the Seattle Center, though since July 2005, KING no longer has any operating agreement with KWPX.

The station's current programming consists of the Ion national feed including religious programs, plus paid infomercials and local advertising spots. The network programing on Friday includes qubo in the afternoon and ION Life in the early evening.

When the station first signed on the air, its transmitter site was atop the Columbia Center Tower. The transmitter site was later moved to West Tiger Mountain -- which is also known as West Tiger #3.

On most Western Washington cable TV systems, KWPX is typically located as channel 15 or channel 3.

KWPX's city of license is Bellevue, Washington.
