Neighborly Reminder: Fireworks Are No Longer Legal in #Lynnwood

With much angst, Lynnwood’s city council banned fireworks last year. I expect that they’ll be vigorous with enforcement. Or they won’t, but I wouldn’t push my luck. Anyway, just making sure everyone is thinking about it. Whether or not you like it, it’s now the law.


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. Instead, we urge you to enjoy a local firework show hosted by one of our many neighboring cities.

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. Anyone caught discharging fireworks in the city limits will have their fireworks confiscated. They may also be cited and face misdemeanor charges.
