Sportsdude, grunge was not even the first wave of music to come from Seattle. Look on wikipedia under Arts in Seattle for more on this. Grunge was just the first genre to recieve the worlds attention and really put Seattle in the conciousness of music fans. Since then the music scene has diversified even more and is still turning out internationally recognized acts. Examples are Modest Mouse, Band of Horses (on letterman last month) the blood brothers, death cab for cutie (bellingham based) and also nearby Olympia has a great music scene all its own. There are also tons of music festivals, venues and recording studios where bands come to record with some of Seattle's more well known producers like Phil Ek ( the Shins, Built to Spill etc..) Vancouver has a small music scene that any city of any substantial size should and usually has, but it is in no way on the level of Seattle.
