Over 70% of some 140 people who responded to The Times’ question: “Do you prefer fireworks or a drone show for the Fourth of July?” said they preferred drones.

Seattle will enjoy mild weather for the Fourth of July, with partly cloudy skies and highs in the low to mid 70s; a spotty shower may occur over the southern Cascades. Cloudy pockets may appear in Central Puget Sound tomorrow, while Eastern Oregon and southern Idaho could see weak thunderstorms.

Seattle was ranked as the second-best Fourth of July travel destination in a new list created by AAA based on its travel booking data. AAA projected that 72.2 million travelers will journey 50 miles or more from home during the Independence Day holiday travel period from June 28 to July 6.
