it depends on how you wanna calculate these things, but by most counting measures (ie. # of buildings above certain height thresholds), Miami, LA, SF, and houston (in no particular order) have bigger skylines than seattle.
philly and altlanta also have a little bit more top end height than seattle, but not quite as much meat in the 500+ feet game. dallas slots into the conversation somewhere as well, about on par with seattle. boston is in there too for overall size, but lacks a tower over 250m.
in terms of size, the #1 and #2 skylines in the US are extremely clear-cut.
#3 becomes a much more muddled affair.
though if we open up the competition to our canadian friends to the north, then toronto is now solidly in the #3 spot, and quickly gaining on chicago.
