KELA (1470 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a talk/sports format, co-licensed to Centralia and Chehalis, Washington, United States.

The Let's Talk About It program was hosted from its inception by future Centralia city mayor and council member, Bill Moeller, until 1993.

Under owners Arthur St. John, Cecil Gwinn, and J. Elroy McCaw, the Central Broadcasting Company of Chehalis was incorporated in October 1936, beginning the formation of the station.

As network programming moved to TV, KELA began airing a full service, middle of the road music format with news updates from Mutual.

In mid-1996, the Lewis County Historical Society and Museum added an exhibit that highlighted the history of KELA and McCaw's operations.
