Thank you, Heidi, for your response. I did, also, read through the new code and thank you for including it.
I look forward to a meeting with the Fire Marshall when the time becomes appropriate in the Spring. Your help in setting this meeting up will be greatly appreciated.
In the past, when required, I have filed for permits and have no problem doing so again.
I’m so glad you, family and friends have enjoyed watching the display in the past. We think the gentleman who orchestrates the fireworks is quite an artist.
So, let’s try to keep it going!!
Duke

Duke,
Just getting back to the computer after a few day breather. Our new code language, effective March 14, 2023 is here <https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/JeffersonCounty/html/JeffersonCounty08/Jefferson
County0875A.html> . I have read through this again and it seems the best path forward it to get a permit for your display. I am happy to meet with our Fire Marshal, Brent Butler, with
you to find the best pathway for your display – which I enjoy with my friends and family each year.
Let me know if you want me to set up a meeting,
* Heidi

I understand the County Commissioners considered a ban of fireworks in Jefferson County, but is possibly having the Fire District police this proposed ban in 2023. I am not aware of
the final outcome of this proposal.
If it is truly going into effect in 2023, I am requesting exemption for the Annual(20+) 4th of July fireworks show I put on .
I feel every precaution necessary is taken to provide a safe venue for the show. A professional pyrotechnician purchases the fireworks, all class “B” (like those sold by the Tribes
every year) in Montana, they are legally transported to my property, loaded onto a barge which is then anchored offshore from my property on Port Townsend Bay in Lower Hadlock. The
fireworks are then ignited remotely from shore at dark.
Our whole community enjoys watching, whether from the “Green spot”, the Alcohol Plant, their boats(but not too close, tho), Lower or Upper Hadlock or Irondale.
For the above reasons, if a ban in in place, I request an exemption or special permit so I might continue to provide a safe and beautiful fireworks show for my guests and our community’s
enjoyment.
Hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas Holiday and are looking forward to a Happy New Year.
Sincerely,
Duke Shold
