So San Jose has a better skyline than Oakland and Bellevue? Are you really going to try and claim that?
Absolutely: it's a much denser skyline with a lot more towers than those cities combined. Nearly 80 high rises from 7 story over. Ranges from 7 stories to nearly 30 stories.

Oakland has more high rises than San Jose and Bellevue. Oakland has 62 high rises in its downtown, bellevue is in the 40s and I dont remember San Jose's but it's not bigger than Oakland's
I heavily disagree with the Bellevue vote. I can’t think of a blander, more lifeless downtown on the West Coast than Bellevue’s, besides San Jose. Tacoma actually has a rich history and culture, old buildings mixed with new. Not a petri dish for the tech community. Bellevue is a johnny come lately and I’m not particularly impressed as a Seattleite. I don’t think it belongs in this conversation.
I’d easily prefer to spend an evening downtown in Tacoma, Olympia or Bellingham over Bellevue. Easily. So in my opinion it is only #5 for the state of Washington, let alone the entire West Coast.

I live in downtown Bellevue. It's great for families and very beautiful. But, it's boring.

This has nothing to do with skylines, it's really not about personal opinions of which Downtowns you prefer. Bellingham and Olympia are nice, but don't belong in this conversation.
