Heads up: Another fireworks show on Elliott Bay in 3 weeks

March 7, 2010 at 8:00 pm | In Seen at sea, West Seattle businesses | 7 Comments

A few hours after last night’s “surprise” fireworks show on Elliott Bay, we added a link shared with us by a citywide-media friend – who finally found out about what was apparently the only website in the city that listed the show in advance – the City of Seattle Special Events Calendar. Then tonight, in a new comment on last night’s story, DSA pointed out that another Elliott Bay fireworks show is on that calendar for Saturday night, March 27 – as with the insurance company having a blast last night, it’s for a business celebrating a centennial: This time, General Construction Company (history here), which happens to have a branch here in West Seattle. Coincidentally, that night is also this year’s date for “Earth Hour” – 8:30 pm, an hour after the calendar says the fireworks will be happening. (Photo from last night, courtesy Emory E)

  3. Hmmm. A fireworks show above the Bay once a month might be a fair substitute for the 4th of July show. Ok, maybe not, but still beautiful.

  4. The timing couldn’t be worse for all our local birds starting to nest. There are SO many other ways to celebrate that don’t impact wildllife.

  6. Fireworks are a great way to poison the water, and are a me-too celebration of the most base and right-wing moronic mindset. The city should certify the official shows and leave it that. This city is utterly run by corporations and their right-wing sycophants.
