Saltwater City is widely regarded as the best saltwater fish and coral store in Seattle. It is a go-to store for many, known for being incredibly helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. The staff provides brilliant and spot-on recommendations, guiding customers with all their expertise and never acting rushed, even when busy. They answer questions patiently and, if they do not know an answer, humbly point customers to other resources. The store is always clean, always well-stocked, and offers a great selection of fairly priced coral, fish, and invertebrates, with many noting it is less expensive than other area stores. A key quality sign is that Saltwater City quarantines its fish, unlike some other popular stores. They also take great care, such as packaging items with extra water for long trips home. While the selection may not be the largest, they offer some exotic colonies and have options like a 9.99 frag tank ideal for beginners. The store culture is notably welcoming and lacks any sense of superiority; customers are treated as equals and teammates. The staff are described as the best, kindest, and most helpful teammates in the hobby, making the Pacific Northwest lucky to have this store.
This is definitely our go-to store for our evolving tank! Such a great selection and they are incredibly helpful. They are always great about answering all our questions and guiding us with all their expertise. Special shout-out to Chris. The man is a wealth of knowledge and not afraid to share it.

Great prices and I appreciate the care of taking time to package my frag with extra water to help with the long drive home.

Saltwater city is the place for fairly priced coral, fish, invertebrates, and the like. Other saltwater stores in the area are a lot more expensive.
