Too bad EAT is only served by Alaska/Horizon. Since somebody fatfingered the B fare, the /WNUP fare is also cheap - $79 more than coach each way. But it's only valid for travel on DL or Connection carriers.
These First Class Monetization fares are apparently priced automatically as the coach fare + a certain buy up. So it's a good reminder to check the First Class fares when it seems somebody fatfingers a Delta coach fare.

Mileage runs are more about the mqms for status. Redeemable miles are a bonus and in 2015 they may suck, but that doesn't change the point of attaining status efficiently.

remember in 2015 miles earned are based on ticket price less taxes, so unless you are DM paying with American Express, you still aren't getting as many miles as you think! the ticket price i see is $102.32 so a DM at 9 miles per dollar is about o900 miles not thousands as previously noted!

For shuttle service, there is a handy tool on www.betterbidding.com called Bidding Helper. It lets you check out Hotwire and Priceline Express amenities. No shuttles offered there. But moving on down the options with this tool to "Other", I learned that 3*s Red Lion ($89 for 2/11/15) and Coast Wenatchee Center ($155 for same date) have shuttle service.
A taxi is about $25.

I highly doubt you could sleep there. It handles a max of about 6 passenger flights a day, so I'm sure it closes after they've finished the late arrival from Seattle. Taxis meet flights at the airport, if I recall, and they're usually inexpensive.

I booked the HIE using reward points for the night of 23 Jan. It's a low level reward night (15,000) or $132/night. I went with 10,000 points and $40. I'll still need a cab.

Thanks for the kind words, but I am no "King". I am just one FTer trying to contribute to the community where I have learned so much. I am not a supporter of the re-posting of fares posted on Flyertalk. I personally would never post a fare on FT that I found somewhere else. I am glad to see that you (and other FTers) will be flying the fare.

Great find, I think I will book a few in reverse and look for a cheap positioning flight from PDX.
FYI for those planning to do some skiing. Mission Ridge is closed Tuesday/Wednesday.
Also the Coast Wenatchee Hotel offers airport shuttles and ski shuttles.
