Fourth of July in Edmonds

It's an old-fashioned Fourth of July in Edmonds - and nowhere else. Shoreline has never celebrated the Fourth. The Lake Forest Park Civic Club used to have a party for the 4th, but will not this year. Mountlake Terrace used to have City fireworks, but not this year. In addition, private fireworks are banned in all local cities.

Fortunately, Edmonds does the Fourth in a big way, with a Fun Run, a big, old-fashioned parade complete with floats, baton twirling, and marching bands, and a professional fireworks show.
