Based on advertising calculations, Tulalip’s Boom City expects a million visitors through the Fourth of July.
“It’s starting to pick up, we opened up the 22nd and we’ve had a steady stream of people coming in … everybody has been coming in after work,” said Marvin Velazquez, who has owned Blues Brothers fireworks stand for 27 years.Based on advertising calculations, Velazquez said Boom City expects a million visitors between now and the Fourth of July.
“I think a lot more people are feeling more comfortable [this year] and as things really open up, it’s going to get a lot better,” Madrigal said. Last year, the Fourth of July fell just after the record heat dome that saw Western Washington near 110 degrees. This year, however, it falls after a cool, wet spring in which the Northwest broke records for rainfall and cold temperatures. Madrigal and Fryberg-Jones believe this will have people less nervous about lighting off fireworks.
However, Fryberg-Jones believes the diehard firework fans will always set aside a little extra for their favorite holiday — even if it is less than other years.
