As the Fourth of July holiday approaches, it is important to remember that the sale, possession, use or discharge of fireworks in the City of Shoreline is illegal. Shoreline Police enforce the City’s year-round fireworks ban by confiscating fireworks and writing tickets for possession. If you hear fireworks in your neighborhood, you may report offenders by calling 911 or 206-296-3311.

Personal fireworks are also illegal in Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Mountlake Terrace, Edmonds, and Seattle.

The closest public fireworks shows are at LogBoom Park in Kenmore at the head of Lake Washington and the Civic Stadium in Edmonds.

A private show will be held at the Sheridan Beach property on Lake Washington.

Fireworks shows at Kenmore, Edmonds, and Kingston

Sunday, July 3, 2011

There are three local fireworks shows that area residents can enjoy - some from the comfort of your own home.  

The City of Kenmore is putting on a fireworks show at LogBoom Park at the head of Lake Washington, NE 175th St and 61st Ave. NE.  Start time 10 pm.  

Many residents will be able to see the show from home, particularly along the lake in neighborhoods like Sheridan Beach and the NE part of Lake Forest Park, certainly from Uplake in Kenmore.

The City of Edmonds goes all out for the 4th of July, with parades, fun runs, and a fireworks show.
Thanks to Teresa at MyEdmondsNews, for the schedule.  

Schedule of Events
Fun run: 11 a.m.
Children’s parade: 12:30 p.m.
Main parade: 1 p.m.
Edmonds Firefighters Waterball Competition at City Park, 3rd Ave. S. and Pine St. at 3 p.m.
Evening Entertainment: 7:30 p.m. 
Fireworks (Civic Stadium 6th and Bell): 10 p.m.

She has posted a map of the parade route - it's a perfect small town parade, just like in the old movies.

As a bonus for Shoreline residents in the westside neighborhoods, the town of Kingston is putting on a fireworks show, so you will be able to see a sky full of fireworks from both Edmonds and Kingston.
The parks will be closed - anyone know any good vantage spots (other than friend's decks)?

4th of July - bans on personal fireworks

updated 7-3-2011 5:15pm
By Diane Hettrick

You may have noticed there are no fireworks stands around. You may have noticed the signs on the roads in Lake Forest Park. Here's the scoop: Fireworks are BANNED.

BANNED in Lake Forest Park
BANNED in Shoreline
BANNED in Edmonds
BANNED in Mountlake Terrace
BANNED in Kenmore
BANNED in Seattle
and probably BANNED in Woodway, but I didn't check.


LEGAL in Brier (bet that changes after everyone from LFP, SL, MLT, Edmonds and Kenmore goes there with their fireworks!)

The fire departments have been saying for years that they are tired of people blowing their fingers off. I think they would like to run regular shifts on the 4th, instead of having all hands on deck to be able to respond to multiple fires at the same time.

For those of you who are busy exploding things (yes, I hear you), know that the police departments have all stated they will aggressively pursue violators.

However, one ray of sparkler light for you. Lynnwood has fireworks stands and is allowing personal fireworks during certain hours. If you are interested, check out my friend Mike's article in LynnwoodToday.

For those of you scofflaws who plan to light noisy things on fire on your street corners and hand lighted sparklers to children who would not otherwise be allowed to play with fire - a personal plea to clean up after yourselves and not leave the debris all over the street.  My tires thank you!

However, there are community fireworks shows in Kenmore, Edmonds, and Kingston.  (See article).
