I went to kings discuss first ( I didn't realize it was someone's house and when we called them the said they would be there for an hour or so. I was bummed we made the drive all the way there for nothing. Then we went to aquarium paradise which was cool but I was hoping they would have more. Then we went to midway pets which was interesting. Very run down but had a pretty huge selection of fish and not bad prices. I would go back there again but not the others. My favorite stores are still bridges, the fish store and the co op.I just saw this one too. So @ziggyzoo... where did you go?
I love to take drives to check out various stores. I have not checked out the ones in the Seattle area yet. I need to make some time and make a day of it.
For me Aquarium Paradise is right around the corner so I stop in frequently. A short drive south and its Pet Works Olympia. A long drive south and its Wet Spot in Portland, lol. Otherwise all the good stores are up North.
I went to bridges yesterday for the first time, very disappointed. Definitely don't carry my likesI went to kings discuss first ( I didn't realize it was someone's house and when we called them the said they would be there for an hour or so.

I think this is why most of us seem to be ordering stuff in. The local stores are carrying the bread and butter stuff but not much else. When I see Craigslist posts for fish and they are fairly unique items, I know there is a whole group of us fish keepers having to go online for fish.I went to bridges yesterday for the first time, very disappointed.

Haven’t been to kings discus since it moved from downtown Seattle. It was nice to see because I like anywhere that has fish but would only head there if you were specifically interested in discus. When I was into discus and trying to breed them, I used to get mine from Kenny (side note: very sad with the recent news for those of you who know or have done business with him).
aquarium paradise always has a more diverse fish selection and sometimes some really interesting stuff - hadn’t seen lechtardi arowana any other place .
fish stores worth taking a look at up north are Bridges in lake Stevens area, the fish store and aquarium coop.
wetspot inportland beats all our stuff though.
It’s kind of funny because the last places of lived I know regions based on fish stores. That’s how I know the New York/New Jersey area as well, lol
Oh no! That's a bummer. The one thing I don't like about them is they always keep the cool big fish they get it. I don't wanna go there and look at awesome big clown loaches I can't buyI went to bridges yesterday for the first time, very disappointed. Definitely don't carry my likes
This has been my experience as well - they get something nice in and they call it a display . Annoying to say the least.I
