Readers, tell us your favorite spot to watch fireworks on the Fourth of July

The Fourth of July is just a couple of weeks away, and with the fourth comes fireworks.

Of course, there’s the popular fireworks display on the Ruston Way waterfront in Tacoma, part of “Tacoma Summer Blast.”

DuPont will also end the day with a fireworks display at City Hall. Puyallup will celebrate a day early on July 3, putting on “Red, White & Kaboom” at the Washington State Fairgrounds.

Trying to find a good spot to see the fireworks can be tough, so we want to hear from you, readers. What is your favorite spot to watch Fourth of July fireworks and why? Maybe it’s a quiet corner in your neighborhood, a nearby rooftop or a restaurant patio.

You can write your submissions in our poll down below.
