These 154 booths make up Boom City on the Tulalip Tribes reservation.

"These few weeks a year it really does become its own city," said Mike Dunn, who has sold fireworks at the Marysville-area reservation for more than 30 years.Fireworks Sold on Tribal Land: Illegal in AZ, ImperialWith the 4th of July right around the corner, some folks are in the market for fireworks.
