I don't know about the "Greatest," but Seattle's pretty good. The Seattle Symphony is world-class and it makes its home in a marvelous new concert hall (lush, with outrageous accoustics), Seattle Opera is the 4th largest opera company in the United States, there is an excellent ballet company here, and there are dozens of venues for folk musicians and singer/songwriters. And a HUGE folk festival over Memorial Day weekend.

Not to mention several theater companies. A great city for actors.

Greatest? Probably not, but it ain't bad.
