You're not crazy but you need to be prepared to spend the night in SEA at your own expense. You accepted a routing you don't like to get the lower mileage cost.
I would expect summer TATL schedules to be pretty firm at this point but a few minutes in the right direction could dramatcially increase your leverage.
