Marysville, WA Fire Regulations: Fireworks (2026)

020 makes it unlawful for any person to possess, use, sell, transfer, discharge, ignite or explode any fireworks anywhere in the city. 311, authorized in advance by the Marysville fire marshal. Trick and novelty devices as defined by state law are not treated as fireworks at all, and the chapter does not reach flares, fuses or torpedoes used by railroads or other transportation agencies for signaling or forest-protection work. A public display permit must be requested in writing to the fire marshal at least 30 days before the event, with a copy of the applicant's Washington pyrotechnic operator license, proof of bond or public liability insurance, a site plan showing the discharge area within a 500-foot radius, and the exact date, time, location, and type and class of fireworks to be used.

The fire marshal investigates whether the display would be hazardous, then forwards findings and a recommendation to the city council, which holds a public meeting on seven days' notice and has final say; the permit itself is good for that one event only and cannot be transferred. Permit inspection fees run one hour of staff time at the adopted hourly rate, currently 119 dollars for 2026 and rising to 126 dollars by 2028, with additional hours billed at cost if the site needs extra review. 071 separately makes it unlawful to even possess fireworks of any kind on park property.
