SEA-BNA nets 3954 status miles approx roundtrip or 7908 earned miles (assuming 100% Elite bonus).</font>
SEA-BNA-SEA non-stop both ways would earn you 3954 miles, however, there are many possible routings.

My $151 fare was the result of a PD316 ($25 off) coupon.

However, without any coupons/vouchers/discounts, a routing of SEA-EWR-ORD-IAH-BNA, BNA-MEM-EWR-MSP-LAX-SEA on NW is doable for $174.50US after taxes. This nets 9643 status miles (or 19286 earned miles).

$174.50 / 9643 status miles = 1.8 cents / status mile
$174.50 / 19286 earned miles = 0.9 cents / earned mile
