Stadium High School is on lockdown after a student was found with homemade fireworks, Tacoma police said.
When a former Stadium High School security guard was sentenced to four years in prison last month for having sex with three students, it concluded one case in a string of sex crimes and allegations of out-of-bounds behavior involving Tacoma Public Schools employees and students.
BELLINGHAM - City Council will soon take up a draft ordinance to ban all personal-use fireworks inside the city, after members of the council's public works and public safety committee agreed Monday, April 22, that restrictions in existing city law are not effective enough.
The three committee members, chairman Stan Snapp and members Terry Bornemann and Gene Knutson, directed Mayor Kelli Linville and staff to bring a fireworks ban ordinance to the full council for discussion and review. According to state law, such a ban could not take effect until one year after enactment, so there would be no impact on Fourth of July 2013.
It is also far from certain that a total ban will be able get the majority of council votes that failed to materialize when the question came up in past years.
State officials are reminding campers, hikers and other users of Department of Natural Resources lands that, by state law, Washington's summer fire rules are in effect April 15 through Oct. 15.
The rules apply to the 12.9 million acres of private and state forestlands protected from wildfire by the department.
The summer fire rules affect anyone who logs, cuts firewood, clears land or operates off-road vehicles on DNR-protected land. During fire season, people using motorized equipment in the woods must have approved spark arresters and must follow fire-safety precautions.
A Stadium High School student was arrested Wednesday after allegedly bringing a homemade fireworks to school, Tacoma police said.
