Seattle’s 2026 Fourth of July fireworks show has not been pinned to a clear public total in the sources I found, but the event was widely covered as a major Lake Union display for the city’s July 4 celebration. A 2025 report said Seattle’s fireworks display used more than 7,000 pounds of explosives, which gives a sense of scale but not the actual 2026 dollar cost.

What’s known

  • The 2026 show was the big Lake Union fireworks display tied to Seattle’s Fourth of July events.
  • I found coverage about where to watch and event logistics, but not a confirmed city budget figure for the show.
  • A prior Seattle show was described by its explosive load, not by cost, so that number should not be treated as the 2026 spending figure.

Bottom line

At this point, the safest answer is: Seattle’s exact 2026 fireworks-show spending does not appear to be publicly confirmed in the sources available here. If you want, I can help narrow it down further by checking city budget documents, Seafair materials, or permit records next.
