Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan - Question about seating on flights from Sacramento to Seattle

Hi, I'm confused about the seatmap for my upcoming flights SMF-SEA-SMF on the 738. The seating in coach is shown as rows 6-11, then row 15, with no rows numbered 12-14. Then rows 16 and 17 are labeled "exit".
Is this really correct? I'd like to pick an exit row but according to Seatguru row 17 is never an exit row.
Thanks for any help.
Seatguru is behind the times -- actually, I'm not sure if they ever update anything on that site now!
Alaska has just recently (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/alaska-airlines-mileage-plan/1341307-exit-row-numbering-changes-737-800-a.html) renumbered their 737 fleet so that 16/17 are the exit rows regardless of model and configuration, meaning that even in case of equipment swaps, you won't lose your exit row seat. The different -800 layouts now look like this (http://www.alaskaair.com/content/travel-info/fleet/737-800.aspx).

Thanks very much. So 17D should be a good choice for an aisle exit row, correct?

That and 17C are both excellent choices ^
(Except on combi where I think 16 has an edge and 73G a/c where 17 A/F seem better)

No matter which seat you pick, it's a short flight. :)
