Your observations would be expected since KVI KIRO & KOMO are all much
closer to you than KCIS, which has its transmitter north of Seattle and
has a null in your direction.
According tom the Zipsignal website, http://www.v-soft.com/ZipSignal/ ,
KCIS should be my second strongest local after KIXI-880, based on the
FCC database info. It's actually a bit weaker than some of my other
locals, such as KIRO & KOMO, which may mean my antenna isn't really
omnidirectional (very likely) or KCIS's antenna is putting out less than
what's in the FCC database (also possible).
Zipsignal is an interesting website - you enter your zip code and it'll
show the field strengths for nearby AM & FM stations.

Here in Puyallup, in the pre-dawn hours, I find that KCIS 630 mixing beneath
another domestic station runs a solid S-9 on the Perseus, but KVI-570,
KIRO-710, and KOMO-1000 are all reading S-9+35dB (aka -35 dBm).

I haven't noticed any significant changes in strength for KCIS-630. I
checked just now, and their signal level is similar to that of many
other Seattle stations, i.e. about an S-unit weaker than KIRO and half
an S-unit stronger than KVI
