About 40 swastikas were found scrawled on hay bales in a field in Washington State. A passer-by noticed the swastikas in a field off Interstate 5 in Marysville and reported them to police Sunday, the Herald newspaper reported. "Hate is alive and well," said Ellen Bovarnick, the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League. "Somebody or somebodies took the time to express what is the most virulent symbol of anti-Semitism that anyone can think of." By Monday, the bales had been rolled over and the swastikas were no longer visible.
