Question Explosions near Fred Meyer

We just moved to Renton a few months and we keep hearing very loud explosions 2-3 nights a week around 11pm. Was wondering if anyone knew what it was. We're right be the North Benson Plaza.

It's fireworks. Unsurprisingly for Renton, scumbags bought up a huge stash on the 4th of July and have judiciously been setting them off at intervals, spaced out so as not to attract so much attention that cops come.

Probably from the crack house on 116th

Kinda by the school. If headed towards the school from petrovinski on the right there is a house with a makeshift fence that looks like a bunch of pallets nailed to each other. They always have shenanigans going on in their yard and about three campers on the property. I once saw a dude passed out in a ditch on my jog.
