I can see the Los Angeles skyline from my cabin over 100 miles away as the crow flies. Actually I can see out to Catalina Island which is more like 150 miles.

I believe you but pictures are a must. C'mon you have to show us now
You can't actually make it out in the picture, it's not high-res enough, but in theory you should be able to see the Seattle skyline from Mt. Constance looking this direction, 39 miles as the crow flies. You can see the outlines of the Toandos Peninsula, the Hood Canal, and then the Kitsap Peninsula, and you can see the Cascades in the distance, so downtown Seattle should be somewhere in the middle below the clouds.
Weirdly I'm not finding any pictures of Seattle from the mountains, just the other way around. Actually in theory you should be able to see the skyline from Rainier (59 mi as the crow flies) but I can't make out any kind of detail from the streetviews there.
Farthest point I can find with an unequivocal view of the skyline is Manchester on the Kitsap Peninsula, 10.4 mi as the crow flies.

I don’t have any on this phone as after the 100th photo I haven’t taken any in ages, but here’s a couple I snagged off our Facebook group. I know I’ve seen better of the skyline, but I don’t feel like scrolling through the site to find more.
We’re heading up tonight, and I promise to upload some of my own in the future, but it might have to wait until another trip? We just got 2’ of snow and it’s been rainy along the coast so it might be a bit cloudy this weekend to get any good shots.
Full disclosures I can’t see either from my house, but I can at different vantage points just down the street. I wanted a view of this, and the city lights at night, but my wife wanted one facing the other direction to remind us we weren’t above 20 million people, lol. Streets in my neighborhood include Ocean View and Catalina.
Catalina is on the horizon to the right of the sun reflecting off the ocean, and the skyline is in the sun in the second picture
I'm wondering, can you see Miami from the Bahamas? Or the Bahamas from a Miami high rise?
Very unlikely. The nearest part of the Bahamas to Miami is the island of North Bimini (Alice Town) - 56 miles (90km).
From the tallest building in Miami at sunrise (producing a silhouette of Alice Town), you might get very lucky catching a glimpse of the Hilton hotel (only a few stories tall), but I haven't done the math.
I've hear some say you can see Chicago Skyline (mainly just the Sears Tower) from the I-80 bridge in Joliet, roughly 40 miles away as the crow flies
Don’t know if this has been posted and not positive but I THINK I saw Chicago from the Michigan shore years ago, it was teeny but still....don’t know how far that was in miles but it was far!

The furthest I've found that one can see Chicago from the other side of the lake is from Benton Harbor/St Joseph, a distance of 98km / 61 miles:
Sorry, I messed up something on my first message, so here is the fixed version...
I don't know about y'all, but some incredible shots can be taken of the Charlotte skyline... I'll share a few of them here...
Here is a view from Roan Mountain, which I didn't know was possible. Taken at sunrise and using a 300mm lens to zoom in (not my photo)... Roan High Knob sits on the Appalachian Trail between NC and Tennessee, just about 94 miles... https://images.app.goo.gl/B6kU9uGqkaRyB9tk7
Additionally, several people have reported seeing the Charlotte skyline from Mount Mitchell, Mount Pisgah, Pilot Mountain, Rocky Face Mountain, Morrow Mountain, and the Thunder Hill outlook. The mileage for these views: 88 NW, 108 W, 79 NE, 53 NNW, 43 E, 77 NW. I cannot verify these, but it's been rumored you can. The views for Mt. Mitchell, Mt Pisgah, and Pilot Mtn are incredibly rare though: you must go at sunrise in the late autumn/winter and after a cold front so the smog doesn't develop...
I can see Midland's skyline from at least 20 miles out i figure.
