Still any reefers in WA?

Nolan Shinn · Mar 28, 2017

been pretty quiet on the WA side of the saltwater forums. Any Washingtonians still in the hobby?

I'm on the look out for new buddies in the hobby and trades/frags. I'm currently inbetween the Seattle and Bellingham at the moment, with a 155 bowfront mixed reef!

You will likely catch up with them in the local club. Puget Sound Aquarium Society (PSAS). I'm not sure how active they are, but they cross paths with us further down south once or twice a year. I'm connected with PNWMAS and we're southern Oregon to about Kelso, with the bulk in Salem and Portland.

PSAS seems to be defunct now... their website is just a copyright screen, and I can't find any trace of them online or even what happened to them. So at the moment, I'm not sure what us Puget Sound reefers do to have any kind of community.

There are a lot of Reefers in the area, myself included, but their kinda spread out. If you go to Barrier Reef Aquariums in Renton, Natalia, the German lady there sort of organizes a lot of reefing activities. It seems as though many Reefers use facebook. There are a few frag swaps but not like some other areas.

Ya definitely no one over there which is sad 10 years ago it was a great forum. Apparently there was some drama with the mods and one left and took most the forum with them
