As a reminder, personal use fireworks are prohibited in Mountlake Terrace. With recent dry weather and high temperatures, fires are a big concern and the city urges the community to respect neighbors, children and pets, homes and businesses, and obey the law. The impact of an accident with fireworks can be devastating.

Additionally, please exercise extreme caution when using smoking products, matches, or fireworks in areas where they are allowed given the severity of regional wildfires in recent years.
