Award Flight to Anchorage using multi-city option

I have been looking to try to book flights to Alaska in August using miles. When I plug in GRR (or DTW, ORD) to ANC for the dates I need, there is no availability. I did check out how the available award seats on other dates are constructed. Many fly GRR - DFW - SEA - ANC. They price at either 12.50 for saver or 25,000 for business saver.

I can construct an award ticket using the multi-city option for the dates I want GRR - DFW - SEA - ANC for either saver or business saver awards, but the ticket prices out at 2-3 times more award miles. Why would it do that? If I call an agent, will they be able to ticket the award at the lesser price?

Thanks for your help. This just doesn't make sense to me. I don't think I'm trying to break any rules.
