In the Seattle PDs minds this isn't a crime (emphasis added):

Police said they they received several reports Sunday of a man wearing a swastika instigating fights at Third Avenue and Pine Street. Police said they were on the scene within five minutes and found the man — with a Nazi flag armband — on the ground.

“He declined to provide info about incident & left after removing his armband,” Seattle police said in a tweet about the incident on Monday.
----------
Seattle police said there is not an investigation underway because no one reported a crime.
