The Office of Intergovernmental Affairs (IGA) was established in the Executive Department in 1971 to act as the City's liaison with other cities and governmental agencies. In 1973, the IGA was moved to the Office of Executive Policy, and in 1975 was incorporated into the Office of Policy Planning. The Office of Intergovernmental Relations (OIR) became an independent agency in 1979, and absorbed the former Office of International Affairs in 1992. OIR represents and promotes the interests of the City of Seattle with federal, state, regional, local, tribal and international governments. OIR is the City's lobbyist during the State's legislative sessions.

Correspondence, reports, newsletters, clippings, and other records relating to Seattle's sister cities. Most of the series contains records organized by city, including correspondence both with officials in the sister cities and with local sister city organizations. Sister City program administrative records are also represented, including information about delegations visiting the cities, planning for special projects, and minutes of the Sister Cities Council and Coordinating Committee. Photographs representing eighteen Sister Cities have been digitized and are available at the link below.

Records are open to the public.
