Looking to sell off some of my inventory and need to go through a competent, reliable FFL in the south Sound area. Closer to Olympia would be preference. Already dealt with a few that were less than positive experiences.
Any suggestions?

Steve’s Munitions in Shelton. Not sure if he is still around but just an all around great dude to work with

Steve is still around but I believe he's out of the ffl business. I'd check with East County guns. Very very few guys still doing transfers.

Steilacoom Armory without a doubt.

That’s a shame. Did a few transfers and shipments with Steve. Best FFL I ever dealt with.

Awesome place, not sure they are going to remain open post July 1.

Here’s the AI synopsis
“ HB 2118, a bill passed in Washington state, aims to enhance gun safety by imposing stricter requirements on licensed firearms dealers. It mandates security measures like audio/video surveillance, secure storage of firearms, and annual employee background checks.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of what HB 2118 does:
Mandatory Security Measures:
Dealers are required to install audio and video surveillance systems, store firearms in safes or vaults, and ensure doors and windows have bars, grates, security screens, or commercial-grade metal doors.
Security System Requirements:
The digital security system must include motion and sound detectors, record all business transactions, operate 24 hours a day, and have limited access to the recordings.
Employee Background Checks:
Annual background checks on employees are required, and employees must be 21 years of age or older to sell firearms.
Liability Insurance:
Dealers must carry at least $1 million in liability coverage per incident.
Record Keeping:
Dealers are required to keep records of every pistol or semi-automatic assault rifle sold, including details of the purchaser.
Reporting Requirements:
Dealers must notify law enforcement of any lost, stolen, or unlawfully transferred firearms or ammunition.
Exemptions:
Dealers with average monthly sales of $1,000 or less are exempt from some requirements, such as certification to licensing authorities and security measures”

This will ruin the little guys that do it more as a service than a business and it won't stop criminals from getting guns if they want them just governors power play

Try Glacier Gun Club in Olympia, I have had great success with them. I like Renegade Guns in Shelton also.
