Seems like prices went up this year. Not that I spend a huge amount on fireworks (I'd rather buy ammo) but my $60 didn't seem to buy as much this year.

The standard fireworks sold here in Vancouver, at any fireworks stand, are roman candles, bottle rockets, and mortars...all stuff that flies and explodes. Nothing illegal about them...just ask my neighbor, he's a Clark County Deputy Sheriff.
However, to get the kicka$$ fireworks you have to go to the res...M80s, Cherry Bombs...the big, big bang stuff.

"Nothing illegal about them", correct, not illegal for him, but for you and everyone else in Clark County with any form of rocket or firecracker, yes illegal.
Cops are known to gather their fireworks from the confiscation of illegal ones. He wants you to go up north an buy his fireworks for him when he takes them away from you. Smart guy.
I don't where or how you are saying what is and isn't legal in Washington State or Clark County from your place in Oregon.
I can remember in the early 80s they allowed us to buy firecrackers and bottle rockets for the 4th (I don't know if it was statewide or just in Grays Harbor), and if I remember correctly, noone blew anything off their bodies and the fires went down in the county. The following year they banned them again and of course people were blowing hands and fingers off trying to alter the "safe and sane" ones, or setting fire to anything that would burn.
Give me the rez firecrackers anytime, and let the safety nannies buy their overpriced safe and sane duds. I'm more worried about kids taping safe and sane sparklers together or pinching whistling petes than kids playing with lady fingers and bottle rockets.

And?
There was one year, 1981 or 1982, that WA residents statewide could buy rockets and firecrackers. For several years thereafter, you could purchase rockets and firecrackers with an out-of-state license (at Black Jack in Hazel Dell), but that only lasted a few years.
