The sale and discharge of fireworks at any time - in- cluding the Fourth of July - is a misdemeanor crime in the city limits. Fireworks purchased on reservations, including the Squaxin Island Tribe and the Skokomish Tribe, must be dis- charged on the reservation. Despite the protest of fire- works sellers, the Shelton City Commission in October 2012 voted unanimously to ban the sale and use of fireworks with- in:: city limits. The° commis: sioners cited noise and safety issues in making the decision. According to state law, the city was required to give no- tice of the change in law one year in advance. That allowed fireworks to be legally dis- charged one final time in Shel- ton between .9 a.m. and mid- night Fourth.of July in 2013. The old city codes allowed personal fireworks on the Fourth of July and New Year's Eve until 1 a.m. New Year's Day.

The moratorium is "a 60-day de- lay to hear what people have to say," Sheldon said. Commissioner Randy Neartherlin voted against the moratorium. He said he can't think of anything the county could regulate outside the new state law. Neatherlin stressed that the mari- juana cooperatives are small grows in homes for up to four people. "This is for the patients," he said. "This is not for entrepreneurs." The commission is required to set a public hearing On the moratorium within the next 60 days. At the public hearing, the commission can choose to renew the moratorium for up to six months. Beginning Friday, collective gar- dens will no longer legally exist.
