Snohomish County weighs ban on selling fireworks where lighting them is banned

EVERETT — The Snohomish County Council is considering banning fireworks sales in places where firing them off is already prohibited.

City governments have banned lighting fireworks in Brier, Edmonds, Everett, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo and Woodway. They’re also banned year-round in national parks and forests.

Fireworks can still be sold in areas where they are illegal to use. County Council member Strom Peterson would like to change that.

Peterson, who is also a Democratic state legislator, introduced the ordinance at a council committee meeting Tuesday. The council still needs to decide on a date for a public hearing — likely in May, according to a county spokesperson.
