The Poulsbo City Council passed an ordinance at its Dec. 17 meeting to ban the sale, possession and discharge of consumer fireworks in city limits, which goes into effect in one year.

Poulsbo joins Bainbridge Island as the only two cities in Kitsap County with a complete ban on fireworks. The city of Poulsbo held an advisory ballot measure in the November general election asking city voters if fireworks should be prohibited in the city. The votes were 64.02% in favor (2820 votes) and 35.98% against (1585 votes), per city documents.

Poulsbo’s current regulations allow fireworks to be discharged July 4 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and they can be sold June 28 to July 4 from noon to 11 p.m. each day.
