Shooting off fireworks is dangerous. We should not allow it, because you dumb citizens don't know how to use matches.
On Thursday Governor Inslee issued a statement saying his office looked into possibly banning fireworks state-wide. But his office discovered they didn't have the legal authority to do it.
Looks like he hasn't been paying attention to how the Obama Regime just ignores the rule of law and does whatever they please.

Laws don’t apply to The Elites on the Left Coast.
Maybe you might want to consider the fire danger.
There have been times in Colorado when fireworks and open flame of any kind have been banned While I don’t like restrictions on my liberty I agree with this one. There have been times it’s actually so dry it’s scary I back to aot of open space and don’t want to lose my house to some idiot with fireworks and no brain.....
Well it is pretty dry here so I can agree. But professional shows? Then too, the other ‘Rat-gov’ner banned fireworks because global warming, and also a ‘Rat-mayor of Seattle banned beach fires on Alki Point for same reason on the 4th.
Yea, but it’s OK to burn flags (Union or Confederate) on the 4th, right?
I have a better idea. Make fireworks legal everywhere across the state. Encourage the people to light fireworks in the driest, most flammable places possible. Then have the governor stand down every emergency service from responding to fire calls, but do arrest those that start them. Also, have the insurance companies not pay out any damages for losses due to fires.
The fires will do immense property damage and may take a few lives in the process. Then the governor can use the media to get on his soap box and blame the idiotic public for firing off fireworks in a drought with a high fire danger that all were aware of and STILL lit them off anyway. Then challenge the public to see if they can regulate themselves next year into not starting fires on next year’s 4th by not lighting them off.

Living in this state really sucks.
I am hearing it is very dry there.
But the American Flag burnings can continue unabated, correct?
*SMIRK*
I feel your pain. I live amongst Nanny State morons, too.
*SIGH*
I cannot WAIT to get OUT of this county!
Those two governors along with our idiot Jerry Brown constitute the three biggest A-holes on the West Coast.
The entire state of Washington is bone dry. There have already been fires on the sides of I-5 around the Seattle area due to someone flicking a cig out the window into the dry grass. We have not had any significant rainfall in the Seattle area in months (that's right, no rain in Seattle). So, personal fireworks are actually a very strong fire danger at this point in time. It isn't about not celebrating the 4th, it is about concern over the fire danger at this moment.
I believe there will still be professional fireworks going off tonight; just, not so many personal ones -- and there is an actual legitimate reason for that.
Safety before freedom, just like most women (of both genders) seem to always prefer
Years ago, I would say “Just a little jump into Idaho”, but then I asked for ones not made in China. I have stopped buying fireworks, but it is by that reason.
