Yeah, after I joined the waitlist, there were names that appeared above me and moved up/disappeared. There were a few Alaska Club members that figured out they could get right in, so that might have been some explanation for the list movement.

Yep, as a mostly AS flyer out of PDX. Lounge+ might be the way to go, unless they start to get turned away from crowded Admirals Clubs!
Judging by the way Alaska delays lounge openings, I predict this will be an issue at PDX through 2026.
