LLCC Fireworks Survey, Recommendation and Final Status – Posted 2/9/2021
State law recognizes two types of fireworks: consumer fireworks, which can be legally used, and non-consumer fireworks. Non-consumer fireworks are prohibited under state law and include “illegal” fireworks such as bottle rockets, fire crackers, and display fireworks (like aerial shells) that are set off without a state public display permit. Use of non-consumer fireworks is illegal under state law. It is a criminal misdemeanor. See RCW 70.77.
State law allows people to use consumer (legal) fireworks during the following days and times during the year: 12 Noon to 11PM on June 28th; 9AM to 11PM on June 29th to July 3rd; 9AM to midnight on July 4th; 9AM to 11PM on July 5th; 6PM on December 31st until 1AM on January 1st. Use of consumer (legal) fireworks at other times of the year violate state law. See RCW 70.77.
