There is nothing in the Olympia area I would recommend.
Cuttle Fish down your way. Portland has a few more I know.
Then all the way up to Renton is Barrier Reef Aquariums and over to Bellevue is Salt Water City.
There is one really great lady in Auburn with a garage store. Coraltopia ( mostly a Facebook presence. )

ok thanks. Cuttle Fish was good, that's the first place I checked out just no freshwater and I always get the "get me this while you're there" from the wife! My kid has a tourney in Lynwood in a couple weeks so maybe I'll hit Barrier Reef on the way, I almost made that trip last week just to check it out but got busy with other stuff. For livestock i'd make the drive over shipping anytime. I'll look for coraltopia on FB too.

Barrier Reef is just a block off of I405. Kind of in behind a mini mall, around the other side of McD's. They do ship out of the store.
Salt Water City in in Bellevue, a little harder to get to.
I believe Salt Water City is about the oldest salt store in the area. I remember finding them back in 1990.
