Stronger Families. Stronger Communities. Stronger Washington

On October 22, the Centralia City Council may vote to change the Centralia Municipal Code (CMC) 5.98 regulating the sale and discharge of Fireworks.

In addition to doorbelling and personal interaction, I created an online poll to make sure everyone’s voice is heard.

Current Law

Purchase and Sale

Centralia currently follows RCW 70.77 which states it is legal to sell and purchase consumer fireworks: June 28 from 9am to 11pm; June 29 – July 4 from 9am to 11pm; July 5 from noon to 11pm; and December 27 – 31 from 9am to 11pm.

Discharge

Centralia currently follows RCW 70.77 which states it is legal to discharge consumer fireworks: June 28 from Noon to 11pm; June 29 – July 3 from 9am to Midnight; July 4th from 9am to Midnight; July 5 from 9am to 11pm; and December 31 – January 1 from 6pm to 1am.

Proposal Before City Council

Purchase and Sale

The Motion before the City Council is to limit the dates for sale and purchase from thirteen days (13) to five (5) days, which would be July 1 – July 4 from Noon to 11pm and December 31 from Noon to Midnight.

Discharge

The Proposal before the City Council is to limit the dates for the discharge of consumer fireworks from ten (10) days to six (6) days: July 1 – July 4 from Noon to 11pm and December 31 at 6pm to January 1 at 1am.
