I know the original post is old but if anyone is looking, we've gone to Mazama (Lost River specifically) for the last 10 years or so and never heard a thing. I've asked friends with cabins or property owners in other places--the Plain and Leavenworth areas, for example--and so many tell me they do indeed hear fireworks. I can't understand who would be so reckless as to do fireworks in a national forest adjacent/east side location, but apparently some do.
I have a friend with a small dog who spends a blissfully quiet 4th with her dog in a downtown Seattle hotel. No one does them on the streets down there like they do in neighborhoods, they can't hear Lake Union, and the newer hotels are quite soundproof.
As an aside, I noticed that the original poster never responded with info on where he landed up - in fact stopped visiting NWH shortly thereafter. I looked him up. His artwork is pretty cool
He had a studio near Clearview and they displayed his artwork regularly in the Snohomish library. As I recall he developed significant health problems and moved up north - Bellingham I think
