Nazi group plans march to downtown Sunday*

The National Socialist Movement, a large Nazi organization, plans a
march Sunday in Olympia.

About 15 people are expected to gather around noon to participate, said
Justin Boyer, the organization's Washington state leader. The event is
intended, in part, to promote a larger gathering being organized this
summer on the Capitol steps, he said.

Participants will carry flags and wear brown storm-trooper uniforms, he
said.

The Olympia Police Department will bolster its ranks to monitor the
event, police Cmdr. Tor Bjornstad said.

Participants plan to gather at the Y-intersection of Fourth Avenue,
State Avenue and Martin Way, and march to Sylvester Park, Bjornstad
said. Representatives said they'll abide by traffic laws and stay on the
sidewalks, he said.
