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.

Truly the best saltwater fish and coral store in Seattle. Always clean, always helpful, always well stocked. While the other popular saltwater fish stores in Seattle do not actually quarantine their fish, Saltwater City does. Hands down the sign of a really quality fish store. The store is also always clean. Another really brilliant sign. Their recommendations are always super spot on, brilliant, kind, and humble, like a really good friend who also happens to know so much about reef tanks. They never act rushed or make you feel like they are in a rush, even when the store is busy and they are helping multiple customers at a time. And when they don't have the answer to your questions they have a store culture of quickly and kindly letting you know that they don't know very much about that question, but also humbly letting you know where might know more about that topic. Lot's of saltwater reef stores I walk into have a culture that feels a little like a superiority contest or d**k measuring contest. Not this store. They truly treat you like an equal and a teammate even if you are a beginner. Saltwater City and their staff are definitely some of the best, kindest, and most helpful teammates you could have in this hobby in Seattle. Sierra and Tyler are always incredibly helpful and always go above and beyond. The PNW is lucky to have this store.

Best place to buy coral, livestock and other needs for your tank! Every time we stop by, Abie helps us out without making us feeling rushed. He also makes sure we get everything we need to help with our tank whenever a problem occurs. We also see a variety of coral and fish we don’t see too often at other stores. I recommend checking this place out if you get a chance, if you’re lucky you’ll get to see a box fish!

Amazing Store but dip every single coral you buy or their nudibranchs will make quick work of your reef.

My go to shop, only shop in the area where you can see their QT process. Never had a fish die on me from them. All my fish except for a flame angel are from here. Flame is from cuttle fish in PDX highly recommend checking them out as well.Coral selection is solid, a little pricey but still pretty comparable to other brick and mortars.

I love, love, love this place. I had never had a saltwater aquarium before, and I had visited all the coral places in the Seattle/Bellevue area, this one is by far the best. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, they respond well to my noobie question "how hardy is this coral?" every time. They never make me feel stupid, or like Im not doing things right. They take the time to point out which corals will work best for a beginning reefer. I come to this store when i want to spend lots of money and relax. and its amazing

I absolutely love Saltwater City! Super friendly staff, good deals and always willing to help! The owner, Trev, is one hell of a guy and will do everything he can to take care of his customers! I wouldn’t hesitate for a split second to go to check this place out for the first time!I bought a Red Sea tank from SC and when I got to unpacking it, I found 3 cracks on the bottom of the tank. I posted about it on a FB group and Trev reached out to me very quickly so he could get all my info to have his Red Sea rep get a new tank shipped out to me!He also takes wonderful care of Veterans! I’ve got absolutely nothing but praise for him and his establishment!Seriously, GO CHECK THEM OUT!!!!

I bought a blue tang from this place. According to the not so friendly staff, it was quarantined. Their prices are higher than their competition but I though it was OK since I was buying a quarantined fish. Given that this was the first time I bought a fish from this place, I decided to put it on my QT tank instead of my DT. Well, less than a week and guess what... Ich! Please do yourself a favor and buy your fish elsewhere. Not only the staff is unfriendly and couldn't care less about your business, but it's a pretty deceiving business tactic to sell fish as "quarantined" when they clearly are not.

I’ve bought livestock and equipment and frozen food from Saltwater City. They’ve been very knowledgeable and helpful.I was plagued with red turf algae and a young woman who works there recommend turbo snails and it was cleaned up in record time! Thanks.Owner replaced two clown fish that died after only 3 days, no questions asked. The replacements are doing great after more than a year.Prices are competitive with online sales on the items that I checked. ??A great “Local Fish Store”.
