Re: New store open in Seattle! My girlfriend and I stopped by to check this place out and wound up staying and chatting for half an hour or more! The owner is very friendly and enthusiastic and obviously into what he's doing.
Prices are great; selection is good, somewhat specialized, and fills a number of niches other stores in the greater Seattle area do not (IME). A lot of really nice, healthy imported goldfish, discus, some plants, and a wide variety of freshwater shrimp I've never seen for sale locally. (Also some stingrays, though I didn't spend very much time looking at them.) A decent selection of high-quality dry goods (CO2 glassware, aquascaping tools, shrimp stuff, etc.), much of it imported from Asia and, again, at very competitive prices.
All this only three weeks into the store's operations! It should be a great addition to the other aquarium stores in the area.
As an FYI to anyone planning a trip, the debit/credit card machine isn't up yet. Bring cash! I was going to buy a pair of scissors but didn't have any cash so I left empty-handed. I'll be back soon, though!
