That stretch is so awful and unpredictable traffic-wise that I'd pay a premium to fly out of PAE. An added bonus with PAE are the E175s, which when traveling as a couple, means no middle seat to deal with.
If they are targeting leisure travel thru PAE... then perhaps we see HNL or OGG show up there?
Except I don't think that E175s can fly to Hawaii.
Ie, it's one thing to target leisure flights, it's quite another to target far-away leisure flights.
