Help Us Map our Sister Cities!

We’re launching an interactive, crowd-sourced map celebrating the deep connections between Olympia and Kato - and we need your local knowledge to bring it to life!

Building on OKSCA member Andrew Ghim’s fantastic Sister Cities - Japan and the U.S. and Beyond storymap, this new project dives deep into the heart of both communities. These interactive maps will highlight significant local sites, helping residents and travelers explore our shared history or plan their next visit.

Have a favorite spot in Olympia or Kato that tells a piece of our story?

  • Submit your suggestions: Tell us about key locations and why they matter.

  • Share details: Send over background info, local lore, or personal photos if you have them!

Fill out our quick suggestion form to get your favorite landmarks on the map. We can't wait to share an exclusive first look at our December membership meeting!
