cheap city of LFP is directing their citizens to go to other cities to enjoy their fireworks....so if they're not planning a community celebration and directing them to Seattle or Kenmore, they need to donate money to help pay for the fireworks.

Why aren't police in Shoreline stopping the constant nightly fireworks in the back of the Ridgecrest Elementary School basketball court near the big soccer field? It keeps everyone up at night and terrorizes all our pets. Its feet away from trees that border houses. These are being lit feet away from our roofs and trees.
