Seattle’s French Sister

Here’s a little-known fact (or maybe I’m the last to find out) provided by my mother-in-law who lives in France: Seattle’s sister city is Nantes, France. As sisters are wont to be, Nantes is similar to Seattle in that she, too, is a major seaport and a center for high-tech and aeronautics industries. Both cities are in regions known for producing fine wines, for their mild, wet climates, and for their thriving horticulture and arts scenes. Check out the Seattle-Nantes Sister City Association website for information about their various exchange programs and other opportunities to connect with our charming French sister.
