Snohomish County bans fireworks sales where setting them off is illegal
EVERETT — Fireworks can no longer be sold in places where they are banned in Snohomish County, under a new county ordinance approved Wednesday.
The Snohomish County Council made the move in a unanimous vote.
Last year, half of the 34 firework stands permitted by the county were in areas where lighting them off is banned. The County Council tabled a proposal on the topic last year.
Council member Strom Peterson proposed the ordinance again earlier this year. This time it found more support.

We'll see how that works out. It's usually a war zone in my neighborhood on the 4th.
