Hi Everyone, excited to be apart of the community here. Our new home in Shoreline, WA. (richmond beach) came with a 3000 gallon koi pond that was 8 years neglected and 3 fish. Spent the last year doing a complete restoration and adding fish. Fully addicted and loving the hobby!!! Still have soooo much to learn though. My wife and 3 kids and I are really enjoying the fish and time we spend working on the pond. I would really love to meet any other Shoreline area Koi owners. I get freaked out occasionally about something and dont feel like I know where to turn too without having to drive 40 minutes to a koi dealer. It'd be awesome for those of us in the local area that have Koi, or know the hobby, to be a resource to each other, and maybe even tour each others ponds to glean some knowledge. I started a facebook page for anyone that wants to be a part of that as a means to connect.
