In my opinion Seattle's skyline looks prettier because the building's are all different shapes unlike Vancouver. No offense

I love Seattle's skyline but Vancouver's skyline is better IMO. I love all the buildings and the city is great.

Seattle's skyline is nice but the sheer scale of Vancouver's skyline makes it the easy pick.

Seattle.Vancouver's is nice but there is not much that says VANCOUVER.I can easily tell Seattle mainly because of the space needle.Vancouver while it is beautiful ,looks like it could be any Asian city(with the exception of the absence of supertalls.

Vancouver wins with its residential density. Seattle wins with its height and commercial high-rises. So they both win!

I just got back from a vacation on which I visited Seattle and Vancouver, and I think Seattle has the nicer skyline. Vancouver has a much higher quantity of highrises, but many are "cookie cutter" highrises. Most have the same minimalist, glassy design and are too close in height to create an interesting skyline IMO. Vancouver is an amazing city, but I have to give the aesthetics award to Seattle.
