Everett show was very disappointing

I just have to mention how pathetic the fireworks display was in Everett on the Fourth of July. There were no ohhs or ahhs. It was short – everyone walked away stunned at what they had just seen. Maybe next year we can give the Tulalips the honor of providing the people of Everett with a real display! We could see the fireworks from Anthony’s Homeport dock and their display was something to watch and enjoy.

Next year I think a lot of people will simply head north to see something worthwhile. The people responsible for the show need to receive a little training on firework displays. I have company visiting from Scotland that I took to see the display and I was embarrassed – wishing I had taken him to Seattle.
