Just need to know where all the good stuff is happening, and where....

Agreed. Anyone? Maybe we should start a topic in another section where more people are likely to see it? I think most people who are interested in this meet have probably seen this thread by now and aren't going to regularly check back.

Is it not enough that it is on the main page? I understand what you are saying and I agree.
So I am assuming we are meeting at the starting place at 10am?
kay well not sure what everyone is planning on doing or what they want to do so i put together a little game plan. These are just the stores that I personally would recommend going to so if you have a problem or want to add a stop let me or WyldFya know!
Okay so first we can meet at my house at 10am I guess was the time we came up with. We can gather chat wait for maybe an hour or 2 to see who all is going to show up and get a rough estimate of people.
**Food: I'm not sure if anyone wants to go a potlach style or I can just pick up Some burgers and dogs at the store and we can grill them up. That is something we should think about though.
So after we all meet up and see who all is attending we can sort out carpools (my boyfriend can fit 7 passengers in his truck and I can fit 3 in my car)
1st I would say head south to Renton to see Sierra fish and pet they have more cichlids and smaller fish not that interesting in my opinion but its only about 10 min from my house so we might as well.
2nd We can head over I90 bridge and hit china town. We can park on King street and meet up and head to King discus. Lots of flowerhorns, exotic fish and he is just getting into saltwater if anyone is interesed.
3rd Walk about 2 blocks to Liams fish store. (Really gross IMO in an alley way but it is right there so we might as well see) You can occasionally find something cool for DIRT cheap because he doesn't even realize what it is.
4th continue walking about 3 more blocks and hit QT aquarium. (IMO the best selection and variety of exotics. Rays, datnoids, polypterus, etc) But very over priced.
**there are places to eat (if you dare) all over china town if you want to get lunch or a snack or something!
5th Get back on the freeway and head about 15 miles over to White center and visit aquarist world. (Kevin @ King discus' brother) Big store with lots and lots of tanks. Can feed the big arapimas and see the nice display tanks. Lots of cichlids and exoits
**My favorite store EZ aquarium just got shut down wich was right down the road im assuming for illegal fish because they always had them. Cool to see but they're paying the price now!
6th Get back on the freeway and go about 30miles to Everett to Pet pourii. They have quite a few fish and we have gotten pretty close to the owner and his son. We told them about the meet and they said if anyone is looking for anything in particular that we can request they get it in intime for the meet!
So afterwards we can come back to my place, BBQ, do whatever!
Okay, so what do you all think? I think those are the stores that are worthwhile to go to. Yes, I know there are others but most are atleast 45 min to an hour drive. If thats okay with everyone then go for it! But this is just a rough plan!
