Heya all,
Redmond doesn't do their fireworks on the 4th, they have theirs at Derby Days which is the following weekend. Rumor has it that some of you folks might be in town early and are looking for fireworks shows.
On the 4th there are parades in the neighboring town of Kirkland and a fireworks show at 10:15 p.m. Kirkland event schedule. You can bus to Kirkland from the Redmond transit center on bus 248 but I don't think you'll be able to bus back to Redmond after the fireworks as the last bus leaves Kirkland at 10:50 p.m.
Bellevue also has fireworks on the 4th, pretty much the same bus situation.
If you're up for going across the bridge into Seattle there is the family 4th celebration that starts at 10 a.m. and goes all day Family 4th at Lake Union
Or you can do what I do, let the kids fall asleep on the couch and watch the fireworks on TV. They show in HD on King 5.
