The Sister City relationship between Seattle, Washington and Kobe, Japan began in 1957 through the office of Seattle Mayor Gordon Clinton and Mayor Chujiro Haraguchi of Kobe. The program was part of an international "People-to-People" initiative first suggested by President Eisenhower in 1956. The Seattle-Kobe relationship was the first of 21 sister-city relationships held by Seattle today; others include Mazatlan, Mexico; Galway City, Ireland; and Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
