No More Fireworks in Snoqualmie?
The Snoqualmie City Council will vote on an amendment to the city’s Fireworks Ordinance at their council meeting on February 9, 2015 at Snoqualmie City Hall.
The proposed fireworks ordinance amendment affects the discharge of consumer-grade fireworks and the penalties associated with unlawful fireworks.
If the amendment is approved, residents will no longer be able to discharge aerial (mortar) type 
fireworks. Instead, only ground-effect, consumer-grade fireworks would be allowed.
The amended ordinance would also increase fines for residents who discharge banned fireworks. The fine for possessing unlawful fireworks would increase from $125 per offense to $250. The unlawful discharge of banned fireworks would come with a hefty $750 fine.
The fireworks ordinance amendment was proposed by the Public Safety Committee after a fireworks-related fire destroyed a Snoqualmie home, causing $700,000 in damage, on July 4, 2014.
