Work took me there a few times and it’s wonderful. In any weather. I was surprised by all the islands and bridges.

You’d love it. If you’re there once the ice and snow have gone you can take trips out to the smaller islands. In winter the boat choice is limited as they only have a couple if ice breakers available for tourist trips
