That's really not too bad. NW is definitely shielded themselves from selling too many low fare seats. It's a good strategy for NW, not so good for travelers.
I've never had a lot of problems getting to SEA, but PDX? Always, ALWAYS expensive and never a lot of upgrades to go around. Of course I am a lowly GOLD this year, so that could explain the lack of upgrades....
