Fireworks canceled, no show this Fourth of July

No – it can't be. It just can't be.

Denial is one of the stages of grief, no?

WTF??!!

So ridiculous! NO FIREWORKS ON 4th of JULY!??! not possible!

With that, Chase Bank would still love to have your business. Even though they pulled the rug from under the firewords from when WAMU sponsored it. Sure Chase has no obligation to do this, but then again, we don't really have an obligation to bank at Chase. Thats just my take on it.

Sure is close to April 1st.

6 days later is the Ballard SeafoodFest. Screw Lake Union!

and everyone thought America jumped the shark with the health care bill, maybe Seattle is a little to close toe Russia.

Chase sucks and so clearly doesn't understand the PNW. Their ad campaign is so poor and ridiculously stupid for this community. I will never give them my business.

Nothing like living in a “First Class City”.

Since Amazon is taking over Lake Union with 7 new buildings they should be more than open to being a Sponser!! Just my 2 cents

I dont get why this is getting sudden media attention… this was already announced, in like August or something…

Well, the radical environmental folks should be happy. Talk about tons of carbon, poor air quality, and noise pollution. The PITA folks will be pleased that tens of thousands of pets and other wildlife will experience less fear and stress, better air quality.

Now, if we can just find a way to ground the Blue Angels at Sea Fair, we can totally silence the sounds of freedom.

Truly cause for celebration all the way around for Seattleites. ;-(

Ah, civic spirit.

I think Chase has just managed to undo much of the goodwill it was trying to build through advertising.

Yes, Chase has pulled the rug out from under our constitutionally protected right to fun paid for by someone else.

It's for the children

If you don't fund this grandma will die

It will increase homelessness

This city is getting so dull….next they'll get rid of the hydro races (too much CO2!) and Blue Angels (we hate the military!).

Dude, the “Sound of Freedom” should stay north of Oak Harbor, where it belongs, where everyone eventually gets used to it.

Best you find a new 'hot' city huh

Great, so there will likely be more idiots out there blowing off illegal fireworks. Tell ya what, guys, blow 'em off in the Chase parking lot this year.

New? I just want Seattle to keep it's old traditions alive and not succumb to mindless, enviro-conformity.

You need to learn to read better Maria, you contradict yourself everytime you type.

I guess it's off to the reservation for a DIY July 4th here in Ballard….who's coming?!

Hmm…we've got a lot of subsidized sports teams around here (to remain nameless) that probably could get together and afford to sponsor this.

That is incorrect. You are thinking of the moron who sued to try and stop last years show.
