Gig Harbor city council votes to ban commercial fireworks starting in 2023

Residents may buy and light personal fireworks this Fourth of July holiday in Gig Harbor before the ban goes into effect.

"banning" is one thing, actually getting everyone to follow through is something else entirely.

Council is out to ban fun for everyone. Just leave us alone. Weird people on the council committee.

Fantastic not make laser shows. Reusable, greener, cleaner because there is no one who's going to go out and pickup all the shells and what about the ones who didn't get set off and land in the forests and cause a forest fire. There is also the issue of animals who have a real hard time with fireworks, autistic people, ptsd vets, photosensitive people. If people are really worried about the fundraisers they should go and donate to a fund .
