Seattle-Perugia Sister City Association

Friendship with Perugia, Seattle's Italian Sister City Our association is one of 20 sister city programs supported by the City of Seattle.

For almost 30 years, the Seattle-Perugia Sister City Association has maintained ties of sisterhood and friendship with Perugia, Italy. Located in a region in central Italy between Florence and Rome, Perugia is the administrative, cultural and economic capital of Umbria. The goal of each is to bring grassroots citizen groups and local governments together to promote international understanding, goodwill and friendship. To deepen our understanding and bond between Seattle and Perugia, our members offer educational, cultural, commercial and personal exchanges as well as a variety of local activities that focus on Perugia and Italy in general.
