Go Fourth
Monday is July 4, and whether or not you’re feeling patriotic, the holiday weekend’s community events promise lots of dazzle in the South Sound. That’s a good thing: Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater all have a ban on personal fireworks, so taking in the professional displays is a good option.
=====
The City of Yelm does not have a ban on fireworks. Fireworks stands in Yelm may only sell legal fireworks.
