As deeply invested members of the Snohomish community, it is disheartening to report a recent upsurge in racist activity in our town. Earlier this summer a young man in a swastika shirt stood at the corner of Avenue D and Second Street screaming, “Heil, Hitler.” That same week, a photo of local teens, proudly posing with the Confederate flag reemerged on social media. More recently, a large, vulgar, racial epithet was etched on a downtown sidewalk. Then, last week, white supremacist posters were posted on telephone poles around town.
