Bellingham Police Department has confirmed that consumer fireworks are banned within the city limits effective immediately.
The ban aligns with Washington state law prohibiting the sale and use of consumer fireworks, which includes items like sparklers, firecrackers, and bottle rockets. Bellingham’s enforcement of this statewide regulation aims to prevent injuries and property damage.
Residents are urged to comply with the ban to avoid potential fines and to ensure public safety during holiday celebrations.
