Where is it legal to shoot fireworks?
YAKIMA COUNTY, Wash. -- The majority of Yakima Valley cities don't allow fireworks. However, fireworks are legal in Grandview, Granger, Mabton, Moxee, Naches and Zillah.
If you live in a city where fireworks are permitted, remember you can only use them until the 11 p.m. If you break any of the laws, you could get a fine of up to $250.
"In the city there's just too much risk to the surrounding areas to have it here," said Yakima man, Mike Beck. "There is a designated area around here people can go to light fireworks and that's a good place to do it."
The city says fire concerns and general safety are the reasons for the ban.
