It depends on your antenna and terrain.. There is no single answer.. Someone in
the plains might easily be able to get a station 80 miles away.. Someone in the
mountains, or in a dense urban environment might not be able to get a usable
signal from a transmitter 5 miles away..
That's what I was going to say. Terrain makes a huge difference. Seattle qualifies as a dense urban area, plus lots of trees, hills, moisture, etc., to cause multipath issues, so me being able to get FOX from about 35 miles out is fairly impressive. If I lived in eastern Washington trying to pull stations from Spokane, I could probably go without a signal amp using my same antenna and be able to get everything from over 100 miles out (which I've heard of people doing).
