About

The Fish Store was founded in August of 1970 by Frank, John, and Warren when they bought an existing aquarium shop in Seattle.  Over time, John and Warren went their own way and Frank continued leading The Fish Store staff until he sold it to Dan in August of 2009.  The Fish Store has now enjoyed over 40 years of business as is still going strong.   Previously, there had also been stores in Bellevue and Tacoma, but since 2002 there has only been one location for quality aquarium equipment and livestock.

Our present staff maintains the knowledge based on over 100 years of collective experience.  We regularly bring in freshwater and saltwater animals and plants from around the world.  Some are from suppliers as close as here in the northwest or even some of our own customers.  Some sources are as far away as Jakarta, Sri Lanka, The Caribbean Sea, and Europe.  Others fall somewhere in between.   Overall, we have 2400 gallons of freshwater in 30 separate systems plus 425 gallons for plants in 13 separate systems and 1300 gallons of saltwater in 18 separate systems.  There are also several display tanks to show off a few of the possibilities available to customers.  We also have a wide selection of aquaria and equipment available for purchase.

We are open Monday – Friday 11:00am – 9:00pm, Saturday 10:00am – 6:00pm, and Sunday noon – 5:00pm.  Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day are our only closures barring any major catastrophic events.  We may close Early on some holidays like Memorial Day or New Years Eve, so double check on those days.
