Life In The Pacific Northwest
The six month grace period is over. Now offenders are looking at a $136 fine. The second offence is $234.
So, hands-free, or have your phone in some kind of holder (like one of these things) so you can operate it with one finger.

As I hear another stray boom, and earlier saw some teen boys talking with Lynnwood’s constabulary, it’s time for a reminder from our friends at the City of Lynnwood.
City officials would like to remind Lynnwood residents that discharging fireworks, even the ‘safe and sane’ variety, is no longer legal in Lynnwood city limits. In addition to being illegal, this year’s unusually dry weather conditions make fireworks extremely dangerous, even a small spark could ignite a fire. The Lynnwood Fire Department and other local fire departments have already battled numerous fires caused by fireworks.
Both the Lynnwood Police Department and Lynnwood Fire Department will have extra patrols and crews available on and around the holiday due to an expected increase in call volume. Residents are reminded to call 911 in case of a police or fire emergency or to report fireworks violations.
On June 17, 2014, the Lynnwood City Council adopted Ordinance 3066 which prohibits the sale and discharge of fireworks in the city, effective in 2015. Unlawful use and possession of fireworks will result in confiscation and/or criminal charges.
Ordinance 3066 pertains only to properties within Lynnwood City limits. To check if your property is within city limits, use our interactive map Do I Live In Lynnwood?
City officials are urging resident to enjoy a local firework show hosted by one of our many neighboring cities. Visit our events calendar for a listing of local shows at www.ci.lynnwood.wa.us/events-
