KMIH (88.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Rhythmic Contemporary Hit Radio format. Licensed to Mercer Island, Washington, USA, it serves the Seattle area. The station is currently owned by Mercer Island School District # 400.

This station is one of three high school radio stations in the Seattle Metro area, the other two being KNHC, and KASB.

KMIH also services as the only FM service licensed to the City of Mercer Island and as such is used as one of the primary emergency communication methods for the city.

Prior to its move to 88.9, KMIH had broadcasted at 104.5, when through a series of FM realignments, KMCQ, a station licensed to The Dalles, Oregon, was relocated to nearby Covington, Washington. This resulted in KMIH being relocated to its current frequency because of its class-D status, but was allowed to stay at the 104.5 frequency as they worked out an arrangement that allowed KMCQ to do testing during KMIH's off-air hours until the transition is completed. On August 27, 2008, KMIH and KMCQ finalized the move. KMIH also has a translator at 94.5 transmitting from capital hill to cover downtown Seattle, which is not covered by the 88.9 signal [ [http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/tv/376749_radiobeat28.html Mercer Island school station gets new home] from Seattle Post-Intelligencer (August 27, 2008)] .
