4th of July at Gene Coulon Park
Just north of your location, at the very south end of Lake Washington, is Gene Coulon Park. They put up a very nice fireworks display about 10 PM. Festivities start about noon if I remember correctly. Tends to be lots of Renton City cops on hand for traffic and people control, none have ever bothered me for open carry, just a few looks here and there.
The City of Renton invites you to celebrate Independence Day in Renton. Enjoy free children's activities and face-painting from 12:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., free rides in Voyageur Canoes from 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., stage entertainment from 1:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m., and a professional fireworks display from the shores at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park at 10:00 p.m.
Average attendance at Gene Coulon has been 20,000 for Renton's 4th of July event, with many more viewing the beautiful night-time fireworks display from boats, canoes, kayaks, and from several locations close to the park.
For the past 10 years, the barge and fireworks display was positioned 1,000 feet from shore and shells went a maximum of 600 feet in the air. This year, the fireworks will be launched from the Ivar’s water walk, 300 feet from shore, and shells will go a maximum of 300 feet in the air. The change in launch location is due to increased regulations in hazardous materials transportation and safety standards. Residents who have previously enjoyed the show from the surrounding hills may not be able to see the show this year – depending on their viewing angle.
