Safe and sane fireworks are legal in Oregon, rockets, firecrackers, etc are not -

BUT YOU'D NEVER KNOW IT!!! Because it's possible to drive less than ten miles over a bridge into Washington, fill your trunk up with enough red glare to make the Battle at Fort Sumter look like a few kids waving sparklers around, and proceed to light up the Portland sky every night for a week around the 4th of July, (and New Years Eve) and the cops just watch. It's the most incredible (incredulous) thing I've ever seen.

Garden hose patrol and pet control are the order of the day.
