You’ve probably seen fireworks stands popping up near your neighborhood since the Fourth of July is around the corner.
Now a fire district is asking Snohomish County lawmakers to ban fireworks entirely, saying they repeatedly cause too many injuries and damage property.The city of Mill Creek also has a ban on selling and lighting off fireworks, but many stands sit outside the city limits like one at Gold Creek Community Church.
The owner of the stand told Q13 News that he operates more than a dozen more, and he worries if the county imposes a ban, churches could lose out on a lucrative way to raise funds.
