4th of July reminders
Many of you are wondering if you can use fireworks in your area on the Fourth of July. Fireworks are prohibited in many of our contract cities but are allowed in unincorporated King County. (see list attached) Keep in mind that only “common fireworks” are legal to possess and use in Unincorporated King County.

Beware of the jury scam!
(King County) Have you recently been called by someone claiming to be a King County Sheriff’s deputy telling you that you failed to show up for jury duty? Have they asked you to pay a fine over the phone in order to keep from going to jail? Be warned this is a SCAM and is NOT the King County Sheriff’s Office!
