Seattle area LFS suggestions?

[reefbroao]

I've tried to find a local club but have come up dry every time/ if anyone can tell me where to properly post this id appreciate it. I'm new to the area about 6 months, live downtown and would love to know some of the hidden gem shops around. I've been to most of the LFS so far but I can only assume there are some hidden.

also which is your favorite and why?

- Sea King Aquariums in Bellevue; most corals you ever seen in one place + super customer service.
- Barrier Reef in Renton
- Oceans by design near Southcenter Mall
- Denny's Pet World in Kirkland; hit or miss, I've gotten some crazy good deals but not too often

There's also this active local Facbook Group:

IMO, Barrier Reef Aquariums is, hands down, the best in town for reefing.

Ahhh I love Seakings, Barrier reef, and oceans by design.

Barrier reef has done very well by me. they knew i had been looking at the cali tort for a while and when the only left were $100 a frag they gave it to me for 70. I do almost all of my shopping there.

sea kings has awesome prices. I'm not sure if they're still there but he had mystery wrasse for $70 they looked fantastic.

One of the longest running saltwater stores is Saltwater City in Bellevue.

I've definitely grasped the lfs selection well. Barrier is my top, and seaking follows.
