Vancouver, Washington based Mean Gene Fireworks alerts consumers to changes in city and state laws that affect consumers who want to purchase celebratory fireworks for the upcoming 4th of July Holiday.

The City of Vancouver announced changes to regulations regarding July 4th fireworks leaving many residents confused. Fireworks may still be sold in the Vancouver surrounding area and throughout Clark County.

Meanwhile, Gene Marlow from Mean Gene Fireworks explains, “That there are two laws that will affect the purchase of fireworks in Vancouver WA going forward.”

The first is that the Vancouver city council passed an ordinance that went into effect on October 2016, which banned the use of consumer fireworks inside the city limits. To assist citizens in complying with the law, Vancouver Fire Marshal Heidi Scarpelli is encouraging people to visit this useful link to see if they are inside or outside the city limits.

Marlow goes on to state, “That aerial fireworks are still available to sell in certain Vancouver locations, Camas and throughout Clark County. It’s important to note that although fireworks stores may sell fireworks beginning on June 28, they cannot be used until July 4 in unincorporated Clark County.”

Mean Gene Fireworks has 8 Vancouver firework store locations throughout the area, most open on June 28th and will remain open through the 4th of July. Additionally, a couple locations will be open on July 5th to liquidate excess inventory.

The second law effecting firework sales is a new sales tax that goes into effect on July 1st, 2019. Effective this year is a sales tax that will apply to all fireworks being sold regardless of where one lives. Previously residents of Oregon (who don’t have a sales tax) were exempt from state taxes. Starting this year, the sales tax goes into effect on July 1st.

Marlow goes on to explain, “That one way to beat the sales tax is to purchase before July 1st. Many Mean Gene locations will be open starting Friday, June 28th and consumers can take advantage of our Early Bird Special, buy $100 and get $40 free.”

Those looking for the closest Fireworks stands to Oregon will find 2 convenient Mean Gene locations, each with a broad assortment of popular items including mortars, multi shot repeaters helicopters, roman candles and much more. Many party planners and pyro enthusiasts want the best fireworks available and make the short drive to Vancouver, Washington where they can find a broad assortment of popular items including mortars, multi shot repeaters, helicopters, roman candles and more.

Wholesale fireworks are available for the serious Pyros’ or people who want to split a case with neighbors or friends. It’s common for people to come up from Oregon and even California.

This year shoppers can buy CBD oil treats for their furry friends. July 4th celebration can be a scary time for pets including dogs, and cats. In response to this problem, Mean Gene Fireworks will be introducing Dog Treats with CBD oil to help reduce anxiety in dogs who suffer from fear of loud noises.

“We’re proud to be the first fireworks company to carry these products. I just think it’s the right thing to do. We’re happy to provide these for our customers and their pets. A CBD calming treat helps a lot of animal get through the celebration with a lot less stress,” said Mr. Marlow.
