Last year was the first time I saw (or noticed...) them here in Westchester County, NY (spitting distance from northern NJ, the second state they apparently moved into.), but my boyfriend used to live in the DC area and we saw huge numbers of them there in the summer of 2009. I think we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg here. While there were what I would call A LOT of them at my place last season, my colleagues in the area didn't seem too overwhelmed by them. From the research I've been looking at, we are at the start of the infestation in NY (and OH) and can expect things to get a lot worse. Now is the time to figure out how to deal with them!
There's an interesting series of maps of their distribution here: http://www.northeastipm.org/neipm/assets/File/BMSB%20Resources/ESA%20Eastern%20Branch%202011/03-Biology-and-Current-Spread-of-the-Brown-Marmorated-Stink-Bug-in-North-America.pdf

The good news on the MSB is organic practices work best to control and if you have a good wheelbug along with other insect and arachnid predator populations you will see good control. Or that has been my experience on my farm.
