About SGSCA
“Coming Home” Commissioned by SGSCA and presented to the City of Gdynia. Created by local Seattle artist Louise McDowell.
The port cities of Seattle and Gdynia have much in common: both are beautiful port cities, both have a rapidly growing technology center, and beautiful architectural and nature landscapes. Both cities host outstanding cultural events such as the Opener Festival in Gdynia and Seafair in Seattle.
Seattle and Gdynia formalized their friendship in a sister city agreement in 1993, one of Seattle’s twenty-one sister cities. SGSCA is a 501(c)(3) organization, staffed entirely by volunteers who are committed to sharing and promoting business, cultural and academic exchanges between the two cities.
