First, a reminder that for most of the region fireworks have been banished. Lynnwood, Mukilteo, Brier, Edmonds, Gold Bar, Marysville, Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace and Woodway all have ordinances prohibiting them. For more details Snohomish County has created this guide for fireworks.
So, legal fireworks. You know, the professional shows! Well, there are many options around the region. The Washington State Patrol has this great list of options throughout the state. And, of course, there are parades and other events. I’ll highlight just few around here.
First, Mountlake Terrace has a fireworks show tonight, July 3, on Lake Ballinger.
As for tomorrow, the actual Fourth, I’ll be in Edmonds, so I’ll start with their festivities. This is the main thing for South Snohomish County around Edmonds, Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace.
- 10:00 am: Children’s Fourth of July Parade
- 12:00 pm: Fourth of July Main Parade
- 10:00 pm: Fireworks!
Here are some other local options:
- Arlington’s July Fourth Frontier Days
- Bothell’s Freedom Festival
- Everett: here’s the link to all the activities, including the parade, festival and fireworks.
- Marysville
- Darrington’s Old Fashioned 4th Of July
