Fireworks in Seattle

Are you bumming out that personal use of fireworks in Seattle and King County is illegal and desperate for a visually stunning display of fireworks? We’ve rounded up a list of local places, tips and tricks to keep you and your family fully entertained this 4th of July. Pro tip: no matter where you go, get there early and pack a picnic full of Lady Yum’s July flavors inspired by cool treats. Our macaron lineup this month of Bomb Pop, Choco Taco, Strawberry Shortcake Bar, Key Lime Pie, and Peach Almond Prosecco will help beat the heat, or take it even further with Neapolitan or Orange Creamsicle Slabs. Beware though - fireworks on your tastebuds and a professional pyro show will fire up all your senses (we know… corny…. But we can’t help ourselves!)
