This Saturday, January 12, the girls team of Chief Sealth High School will play a benefit basketball game against a team from a road team, that's been on a long road. They're from Chongqing-Nankai School in China. Chongqing is a Seattle Sister City and where the Seattle Chinese Garden drew its inspiration and artisans and craftsmen from during its construction. The schools are sister schools too.

This is the first sports exchange in the 10-year sister school relationship. Mayor McGinn shot hoops with the Nankai team when he led the Seattle delegation to Chongqing in March 2012. He will attend the pre-game program at 6:30 pm.
