Apply: Teens can study in Japan
The Edmonds Sister City Commission invites students ages 14-18 to apply for a student exchange with Hekinan.

Student cost for the trip is expected to range between $1,600 and $2,200, depending on the cost of airfare.
Hekinan has been Edmonds’ Sister City since 1988, and the exchange program has been a central component of that relationship. The deadline to apply is Feb. 13.
