Island County Advisory Vote: ban consumer fireworks in unincorporated Island County

Official plain English statement

This is an advisory vote as to whether the Island County Board of County Commissioners should ban consumer fireworks in the unincorporated parts of Island County. Public displays authorized by permit are not affected. Currently the use and discharge of consumer fireworks other than mortar fireworks is permitted in unincorporated Island County on certain days of the year unless prohibited during severe dry weather conditions. This vote will not change the law, but will provide information to the Board of County Commissioners as to whether voters believe the County should adopt an ordinance banning use of all consumer fireworks in unincorporated Island County. The cities and town within Island County may set their own fireworks regulations. This vote is not binding, and the Board of County Commissioners may or may not act on the results.
