Redmond restricts consumer fireworks under RCW 70.77 and RMC 9.60, permitting discharge only on July 4 from 9 AM to 11 PM; sales and possession outside that window are prohibited.
Washington RCW 70.77 authorizes local jurisdictions to further restrict state-legal consumer fireworks, and the City of Redmond has done so under RMC 9.60. In Redmond, the discharge of consumer fireworks is permitted only on July 4 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Sales, possession, and use outside of that single day window are prohibited within city limits. All fireworks except those approved by the State Fire Marshal remain illegal (bottle rockets, missiles, firecrackers, and any aerial device with a report). The Redmond Fire Department and Police Department enforce violations, which can result in civil fines up to $1,000 and criminal charges for illegal devices. Redmond sits in a high wildfire risk zone due to surrounding forested areas and adopts the statewide burn ban restrictions issued by DNR each summer. Safe and Sane alternatives such as professional displays at local parks are encouraged.
