Aquarium Warehouse in Oly closed down a long time ago. I used to know Bill who ran it. However the good news is that it is now home to Gravity Beer Market. 
If they have to close down the fish store, at least turn it into a beer store.
They sometimes got in some cool stuff. I used to buy some of my African cichlids from there.
Exotic Aquaria is a small place and I have not been all that impressed with it so far. Small place with mostly saltwater but a lot of the times I have been in there the fish look emaciated or sick. I have not been in there for a little while so maybe things have gotten better.

I've been to Aquarium Warehouse a few times, but that was a long time ago. It was probably a couple of years ago I was there and the owner told me he was going to close the store soon and either move or operate out of his home or something like that, so I never went back after that.
I'd be curious to see if he is still in that location.
Make sure you call ahead of time. I went a couple of times to find the store closed during times that you would expect a business to be open.
I've also been to Exotic Aquaria in Lacey, but they had just opened and didn't have a lot of stock at that time.

Heheheh, I just saw that. That's funny.
Yeah, he closed down quite a while ago. Bummer too as it was a little bigger place and got some cool stuff sometimes.
I became friends with a guy named Dave there who went and got all the fish for the store. Now THAT was a good contact to have. Sadly he moved away and no more perks.
Oly really has no really good sources for fish for the most part due to our weak big box and local stores here. I tend to go up to Midway, A Place For Pets & a couple other little places along the way.
