my tier list.
NYC
LA
Chicago/DC
SF
Boston
Philly/Houston/Dallas
Miami/Seattle/Atlanta
Minneapolis/Denver/Phoenix etc..
I would love to hear some reasons on why you think Seattle is in the same tier as Miami and Atlanta. Maybe when talking about only city propers but when looking at metro or urban areas Seattle is in a lower tier for a multitude of reasons. Also there's no way Boston is a whole tier above Philly and company. Have you been to these places?
Seattle is small but it's a tech powerhouse and gaining fast.
Their construction is just slightly behind Boston in sq ft.
They're building 44 highrises and skyscrapers planned, under construction or completed.
Miami is building 90~100 skyscrapers planned, under construction or completed.
Seattle and Miami will both move up to the next tier, soon.

I've never thought of Seattle as small. The fact that it dominates its region so completely (unless you count Vancouver, but that's crossing an international border) makes it seem bigger than it is.

Seattle dominating its region isn't saying much. The Pacific Northwest isn't that developed and outside of the Seattle or Portland metro regions, things become very rural. Seattle's pretty unique in that it's not an urban metropolis but neither is it simply a mid-sized city. It's somewhere in the middle and certainly bolstered by a crazy hot building frenzy in its urban core.
As for this thread, I think considering Boston but leaving out Philly and DC would be bizarre. The West Coast doesn't have an equivalent to the Bos-Wash corridor.
