Yeah, saw an ad they'd posted a month or two ago, saying they'd be opening Aug 1st. Good to see they did finally open. Curious if CRS will be decent grades btw. I've seen a couple stores around here carry C and B grades but nothing better.
New store in Seattle

Looks like I'm taking a trip to Seattle tomorrow!!!
I stopped by today and found the place to be really nice. Really cheap fish and Jimmy was pretty nice. He let me take some pictures so hopefully these will give everyone some idea of the store. I wasn't feeling like like being an excellent photographer after I got off work so forgive me for the quality in some of these photos. The Aquarium lights also mess with the white balance in the pictures.
The store is kind of hidden on the right but there is a sign.

The shop itself is a bit small and part of that floor space is eaten up by the koi pond. Tanks and fish all look clean and healthy. Jimmy is a fun guy to talk to and cares about what he does which makes for an enjoyable visit. I asked about the shrimp since I thought you guys might care and he said he is moving them to another rack he is making which is why he is low for now. He does have some ADA stuff but said it was a bit harder to get so he doesn't have a ton of it right now. He still seems to be setting up some more tanks and stuff right now so I am sure in the next few months his assortment will grow to have a bit more of a selection in fish, asking nicely also won't hurt if there is something specific you are looking for. He said he was getting some really good root tabs in soon so I will be picking up some of those when he does. If you are in the area or just curious I would check it out. I had an enjoyable time and I will be back in the future.

Agreed. It's frustrating sometimes. There's one place in particular (not going to name names here) that stands out in my mind with regard to the puppies/kittens issue.
The Fish Store on Roosevelt doesn't sell painted fish, though, does it? I can't recall having ever seen them there, though I haven't really been looking.
In any event, we at least have Aquarium Plus now, with no painted fish, puppies, or kittens to be found.
