Personal Fireworks are Illegal in Renton
City of Renton police and fire officials would like to remind everyone that the sale and use of fireworks is prohibited within Renton city limits. The ban has been in effect since 2005. The ban was passed by voters in 2005 (R4-5-070(c)97) and is designed to protect both citizens and their property from damage caused by fireworks. Citations may be issued for violations. Violators are subject to both civil and criminal penalties. Additionally, the sale, possession, or use of explosive devices such as M-80s, M-100s and homemade or modified fireworks is a felony offense.
King County passed a ban on the sales and use of consumer fireworks, so effective this year, personal fireworks are no longer permitted in unincorporated King County, including Skyway and Fairwood.
