Mayor Nicola Smith and the Lynnwood City Council passed Resolution 2015-10 to establish a Lynnwood Sister City Program in May 2015.
The City of Lynnwood administers the overall management of the Sister City Program, working with a program committee. The Sister City program committee provides guidance and support for new and ongoing relationships, project development and implementation, including program sustainability. The City of Lynnwood also partners with the Lynnwood Sister Cities Association, an independent, non-profit organization to complement and further Sister City Program opportunities with community members, civic organizations and local businesses.
