The long DCA routes will always command a premium over IAD/BWI. You see this on the nonstop AS routes, the nonstop DL routes etc. WN won't be any different.
That being said, I don't think WN will only charge BS/Anytime fares. I suspect the fares haven't been fully loaded into their system yet.
BTW, I thought this was SAN-AUS-DCA? The website says it is an "invalid route with departure airport."
