Consumer fireworks are now prohibited in King County
Starting this year, it's illegal to sell, possess, or set off fireworks in unincorporated King County
In 2021, the King County Council voted to ban consumer fireworks in unincorporated King County to protect community safety. There have been several large wildfires in rural parts of the county during recent dry summers, and fireworks have caused injuries and other destruction in urban areas—including a 2019 house fire in which one person died.
The new law takes effect this year, bringing unincorporated areas in line with most cities in King County that have already banned fireworks.
In this first year of the new ban, enforcement will be concentrated on education. So most people who violate the ordinance will receive a warning with information about the ban if there is no immediate danger from their activities. If you'd like to report a violation, you can do so by calling 206.848.0800 or filing a report online.
King County offers new grants for small businesses affected by COVID
Businesses in unincorporated King County with COVID-19 impacts and expenses can apply for grants of up to $30,000 between June 15 and
July 15.
To learn more, call 206.477.3800 or email [email protected].
Are you ready for wildfire season?
As we begin to enjoy summer, it’s a good time to think about and prepare for possible wildfires. They are becoming more frequent and creeping closer to suburban neighborhoods. Ready, set, go is a good way to prepare:
Ready > Prepare your home for fire season and think about ways to prevent fire from reaching your residence. For example, trim branches that overhang your home, porch, and deck and prune branches of large trees up to 6 to 10 feet (depending on their height) from the ground. Plants should be carefully spaced and fire-resistant.
Set > Create your evacuation plan, your “go-bag” or disaster supply kit (supplies for three days, including food, water, clothing, first aid kit, etc.), and your communication plan.
Go > Leave your area based on the instructions from local officials.
