The SEA-ATL redeye was cut to make room for PDX-ATL. While often full, the SEA-ATL redeye was not as popular as the daytime SEA-ATL and was a relatively easy upgrade. My guess is that with the current relationship with DL, the redeye won't be returning as there wouldn't be as many connecting passengers.
If AS had more aircraft, PDX-ATL might make sense as a summer seasonal much like SEA-CVG/MEM have been for DL.
