Can you identify the airline, the route and the aircraft type involved?
15- since there’s nothing in the phrasing of the question to indicate that the airline of record actually had a long continuous history of nonstop TCON operations, I’m thinking Northwest

I know they had run SEA<>IAD with a 707-351B/C in the mid- to late 1970s, but in the 1995 timeframe I recall they had ventured into SEA<>BOS

I’m not sure of the equipment, but a 757 certainly seems plausible
