NevadaConditional
Nevada is county-option (NRS 244.367): each county decides whether consumer fireworks may be sold or used, so legality varies across the state. Where they are allowed, no statewide personal permit is required; public-display permits come from the local fire authority.

WashingtonConditional
In Washington, consumer fireworks are legal during restricted July 4 and New Year's windows without a personal permit. Retailers need both a state license and a local permit, and many cities and counties ban consumer fireworks entirely — always check the local rule.
