Lynnwood City Council reaches unanimous decision on Feb 22nd



Final decisions have been made to establish Damyang in South Korea, a county known for its bamboo forests, as Lynnwood’s newest sister city on the evening of February 22nd.

 

Seven members of the Lynnwood City Council agreed unanimously to the decision. Lynnwood’s Sister City Program (SCP) has been holding meetings for several months for consideration, and the city’s interest in involving the local Korean community in particular has accelerated the process.


The Korean population account for one of the largest ethnic groups in Lynnwood, with more than 250 small-to-medium sized businesses in the city being owned by Koreans.

 

The city of Lynnwood handed over a certificate of authentication for the establishment of sisterhood relationship of the two cities to Jeong-Ju Lee, a Damyang-native and President of Seattle Alliance for Democracy, who delivered the certificate to Damyang County on February 24th.

 

Chairman of Board at the United Korean School of Greater Washington Boo-won Yoon, President of Alderwood Village’s Olympus Spa Sun Kyong Lee, and Chief Taekwondo Master Ki-seung Cho were key individuals in promoting Damyang as Lynnwood’s sister city, all of whom became board directors of the newly established “Lynnwood-Damyang Sisterhood Committee”, following the decision on Monday.

 

Lee stated, “We are hopeful that the sister city relationship will bring many opportunities for cultural and academic exchange, as well as vitalize trade and economic collaboration between the two cities”.
