SEQUIM — Seven Sequim High School students are headed to Japan this week to celebrate the community’s decade-long relationship with its sister city.
The students, plus chaperones and Sequim dignitaries, will stay with families in Yamasaki, visit schools there and join Yamasaki city officials to dedicate a cedar friendship pole carved to represent Sequim.
The trip is part of an annual exchange between Sequim and Yamasaki through the Sister City Association, part of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce.
It will be the fourth time Sequim students have traveled to Yamasaki since the two cities’ relationship began, said Annette Hanson, Sequim School District’s resource and information coordinator.
