Fireworks regulations in Edmonds align with Washington state law, which defines which types of consumer fireworks are legal for purchase and use. In city limits, consumer fireworks (where legal under state law) are generally limited to use around July 4th and December 31st-January 1st. Aerial fireworks and explosive devices may be prohibited entirely depending on state classification. Professional fireworks displays require a permit from the Edmonds Fire Department, proof of insurance, and an on-site licensed pyrotechnician. During drought or high fire-danger periods, the fire marshal may impose additional restrictions or total bans.
