PUYALLUP, Washington (NBC) - For many, bikini-clad women and fireworks stands are sure signs that summer is here.

But some Puyallup, Washington citizens say the two don't belong together.

They are upset with the owner of the “Nearly Naked Fireworks” stand which employees bikini-clad women to sell fireworks.

Those opposed say the women are not dressed appropriately for families with young children that visit the stand.

Others see nothing wrong with the women’s attire, liking it to the bikini-clad women who work at various shops and stands at the beach.

City officials admit they aren't wild about having the bikini fireworks stand on the city's main thoroughfare.

But there aren't any laws under which the city can regulate the stand or its attention-grabbing sign that includes female silhouettes is provocative poses.
