I noticed that you are in Olympia, their is a place called Aquarium Paradise in Lakewood, south of Tacoma just of I-5 at the Bridgeport exit that is kind of hit and miss for fish and corals that would be a much shorter drive. They have pretty much everything salt and reef related. If you are looking for special fish or corals they will order them and quarantine them till they are safe to leave. Having said this Barrier Reef is my go to place. I am an hour away with no traffic so I feel your pain.That came out too sarcastic when it wasn't meant to be.
I have a 3 hour round trip to any decent fish store, but I do it as much as I can.
I let the owners know what I'm looking for and give them a couple weeks.
It's better to be able to see the fish in person, see it eat ( hopefully) and you help a local business.
A lot of the time they will even meet or beat online pricing.
