Fireworks ban approved in parts of south Snohomish County

EVERETT — Fireworks will be banned in southwest unincorporated Snohomish County starting in 2021, following a unanimous vote by the Snohomish County Council this week.

Once the rule goes into effect, fireworks won’t be allowed anywhere in South County Fire’s service area. Fireworks are already outlawed in the four cities covered by the fire authority, which are Brier, Edmonds, Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace.

Wednesday’s vote applies to the unincorporated part of the county’s Southwest Urban Growth Area.

During an advisory vote in November’s general election, residents said they’d like to see a fireworks ban in unincorporated Snohomish County. It didn’t change any rules, but informed the Snohomish County Council as it continued to discuss the issue.
