Isn't the best way to truly ban the use of fireworks to ban the sale of fireworks? Would not such a regulation makeup it far easier for the police to find those using illegal fireworks as well?

It's time to document these people and have them fined after the fact. Ban fireworks for consumer use nationally.

Last night was the first time in 20 years, Benefit Playground / Park was not a fireworks launch area ! Kudos to the Seattle Police & Fire Departments for a year of relative peace & quiet !

It's time to ban fireworks lol. You people are brainwashed! How about we just lock everything down again, take everyones rights and freedoms away and become a communist county like China? We have truly become a nation of crybabies! It's no wonder this country is so screwed up!

maybe when possible use the rat on a rat --if you see someone, report it and get a reward

We purchased fireworks in Woodinville at a stand in front of a Safeway store. I didn't realized they were illegal - next time I'll ask the operators, before purchasing, on the legality of their stand and where in Woodinville we can light them.

The 4th of July is about remembering the sacrifices people made to ensure our freedoms. The 4th of July is just one day. We should be willing to sacrifice some peace and quiet for one day so those who enjoy fireworks can use them. Now we should not have to sacrifice property damage or bodily injury from fireworks and thus anyone who doesn't use them responsibily should be punished severely for any harm they bring upon others by using them. Other than that, it's just one day....take a vacation out of the country or take a hike into the mountains if you still can't handle them for the one night. INTOLERANCE FUELS RESENTMENT AND EVENTUALLY THE OUTCOME WILL BE FAR WORSE THAN ANYTHING FIREWORKS COULD DO ON ONE NIGHT A YEAR.

Can't ban tribes from selling fireworks, they are sovereign nations unto themselves. Personally, I love em so I'm thankful their availability will remain in place.

Jenni, I must have misread the part of the constitution that guarantees your right to have fireworks. because I don't recall which amendment that is.
4th July and New Years Eve are by far and away my least favorite days of the year. Our dogs are heavily sedated but still highly agitated. Out here in unincorporated King County it sounded like a war zone last night, including heavy artillery that literally shakes the ground. It was non-stop explosions from about 9:30 last night until about midnight. And then the special neighbor who set off his 30 minute high power highly explosive display at 1am, right after we finally got the dogs settled and started dozing off ourselves.

I don't deny you the ability to pursue happiness. But fireworks freaks are destroying mine. I can't wait until next year when at least it will be illegal (not that that will stop most of the people around here)

Tribal fireworks sales don't need to be banned

Only two things would need to happen. 

1. Pull people over upon leaving the reservation in the days leading up to the 4th and with a warrant, open their trunk Arrest and fine them, put it on camera and distribute widely. It will be illegal to possess them after all. Easy.

2. Pass laws that put pressure on the tribes to limit the kind and size of fireworks sold. They make most of their money through the operation of their casinos. But they exist under an agreement with the U.S. Government and the State. Pressure applied where they get their money would cause them to respond rather quickly. 

This wonderful day that you un American curmudgeons lament so fiercely, thankfully comes to every city in America. Seattle and it’s surrounding cities are more likely to take advantage of the many Tribal firework offerings resulting in a more difficult to police situation (the majority of it’s citizens seem to ACTUALLY enjoy it quite a lot) I personally think people like the ones complaining here would do well to vacate the city while we celebrate our Independence Day and maybe consider an extended stay. May I suggest Antarctica? Happy Fourth of July!!!

People just need to be more responsible with fireworks PERIOD! Stop the cancel culture mentality. We dont need government telling us what to do anymore, that's what freedom is after all!

In my neighborhood, it started at on Juneteenth, happening a bit every night after. Then the night of the third it got worse, going well past midnight. Then one woke me up on the fourth at 6:00am. Through the day, the majority started around 4:00pm and went until 3:00-4:00am. The night of the fifth, it started around 9:00pm and is still going. If you’re tired of reading that rundown, imagine how I feel. Excited to wake up for work tomorrow morning—if I ever get to sleep. If you think living in a warzone is what freedom is all about, then move to Syria or Afghanistan. This certainly isn’t freedom to me.

Nanny state banning everything it can think of. Pathetic.

You know what's disgusting? So called "freedom lovers' who make threats on the internet about things that will be "so much worse" if folks dont accept every bit of nonsense they want because "freedom."

I'm free not to have my house burnt down or PTSD aggrevated. If I'm supposed to go somewhere else while you light them on a city block, where you literally cant control outcomes even though you're stupid enough to think you can, why arent you supposed to/cant go to a desginated area to have your fun intelligently?

Your b.s. also breeds resentment. It's time you stop thinking in terms of left/right and folks left of you as soft. I'm dead-center middle and if they let me stop you from doing what's already illegal and harmful myself when you do it near me as self-defense, I 1000% would.

Resentment...give me a break. If you cant see why taking care of your neighbors matters more than having fun wherever you want, you're an a-hole child who cant turn the TV down when his sick brother is sleeping disguised as an American

More freedoms lost.
Thank youKing County leftists😢
