It seems like every neighborhood in Seattle and the surrounding area has their own fireworks display. But the best fireworks aren't always right next door. We've compiled a list of Fireworks displays and other July 4th events so you can choose where to spread out your blanket and take in the pyrotechnics. As a side note, keep in mind that personal fireworks in Washington are banned (or restricted, depending on your area). We're not trying to tell you what to do or not to do, but there's a nice list of places to look at personal fireworks here.
