Fireworks and SLMC Update

Unincorporated Thurston County does allow fireworks.  The discharge of consumer fireworks in Thurston County is restricted to 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on July 3 and 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on July 4 within unincorporated Thurston County.  Please be mindful of our Veterans who may have PTSD with loud noises, our pets that shake in fright and your neighbors.

The SLMC docks are not to be used to launch fireworks or have fireworks on the docks.    The fireworks melt and or scar the docks.   Please use your park assets wisely.   If we must replace the docks because of damage, the last time we did this, the cost to the community was approx. $11k.    This is how your HOA dues are used.  Please use them wisely.  

Please be safe, protect and use wisely your Scott Lake Maintenance Park and grounds.

****SLAMS WILL BE OUT AT 8 AM ON JULY 5 for park cleaning*** Join us for a fun filled couple of hours. Bring a rake, wheelbarrow if you can, gloves and garbage grabbers to help clean up the park.

Thurston County Fire Chief called to let SLMC know that his paid personnel will be onsite at the park on Monday July 4th evening to answer any questions, assist in safety with fireworks. etc. Providing any fire emergencies elsewhere in the county.

Extra Dumpsters are available in the park during this time frame also.

PLEASE PACK IT IN PACK IT OUT.

Extra trash bags will ALSO be set up through out the park.

There will be cones set up appox. 20 feet from shore.

FIREWORKS CAN ONLY BE SET OFF BETWEEN THE CONES AND THE LAKE.

All the docks will be chained off so that no fireworks can be launched from the docks. These docks will be chained off from Sunday until Tuesday morning.
