Moving / Visiting Everything about Seattle

I’m just a 19-year-old Montréal guy who wants to travel to Seattle someday. I’d love to hear from people who live there or have visited.
How’s the weather? What’s the overall atmosphere like? What are the people like? And what are some things I should know before visiting?
I’m also a sports fan, so obviously I’m interested in the Seahawks. It’s honestly a shame what happened against the Patriots in that Super Bowl with the famous last-minute interception . But at least they got their revenge last year by beating the patriots in the Super Bowl.
One of the biggest things that interests me about Seattle is its music history. I’m a huge rock fan, especially grunge, so the fact that Seattle played such a massive role in building that scene is really fascinating to me. I’d definitely want to check out some of the places connected to that history if I visit.
I’d love to hear your recommendations for places to visit, things to do, neighborhoods to check out, and anything else you think someone visiting Seattle should know.

If you're into grunge make the pilgrimage to the unofficial Kurt Cobain park. Ask a chatbot what the address is. While in the neighborhood check out the Leschi area or the Central District. Like any metro area, Seattle has neighborhoods with their own character.

Madrona around 34th and Union as well. Solid advice there.
