July 4 fireworks fill the night sky

FIREWORKS LIGHT UP THE NIGHT SKY – The Town of La Conner's annual show, launched from the west bank of the Swinomish Channel, lasted 20 minutes. Before and after, for hours, fireworks near and as far as Snee Oosh Beach were shared with the world.

VIEW FROM THE LA CONNER BOARDWALK – Visitors crowded the Swinomish Channel boardwalk from Hellam's Vineyard to the Benton Street park to get as close to the July Fourth display as they could. The weather could not have been better, either.
