AS BLI-SEA-PDX-ORD-LAX r/t $257.20, 2.88cpm 2014 maybe?
I've heard that there used to be a lot of generous routing options available on AS flights (before my time) through the midwest but didn't look for threads about it.

Other airlines have some intra-West Coast fares which allow connections in the Midwest, but they become more limited as more people learn about them.
