your fav. W. Wa. fish stores to go to

[LS1 WS6]

I am thinking of heading over the the Seattle area at the end of the month and was planning on taking a day to check out all the stores in the area that are nice. I figured asking some of the locals would be the best way. It has been years since I have made it around to a lot of the stores over there and I'm sure there are some new ones to see.

If you could give the names and locations of your favorite saltwater stores that would be great! I'm will be looking around in the Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma area. Any directions from an interstate or state route would be nice too. Thanks for the help.

ARSA and Barrier Reef. 2 stores with lots of selection.

Another vote for Barrier reef. I drive 50 miles, passing 2 reef stores in Tacoma, to get to Barrier reef. Nice people and fair prices. One thing, they don't have a store front, so their door is a little hard to find if you've never been there.

kinda a stupid question....can you get stuff in canada? and bring it back over?

 

[edwing206]

Nope, not without proper documentation.

Well, I guess technically you CAN but it's illegal and if you caught you get hammered, lol.

Thanks for the replies so far. Is ARSA the same as the red sea aquarium?

 

[NC2WA]

Yes...and it is A Red Sea..... there is a company called Red Sea, so the letter A in front is important...small distinction, but important.

ARSA=a red sea aquarium
