The DCA-SEA flights are always completely full. Even as a 75K you likely won't be in the front. I fly this route regularly. The waitlist regularly runs very long (30-60 people) and it's common to see nobody upgraded. To stand any chance, you need to be #1 or #2 on the list and generally a very lucky person.
You'll get good value from your 75K status, just don't expect it to be an easy/automatic upgrade on the DC-SEA route.

Also hard to get these days - BWI-SEA and VV. - I usually try to confirm my return from BWI when I can with a GGU or an upgradable fare, last night, I was 9 of 25 for 0 upgrades on a Thursday. Its usually 30 long on a Friday and Monday ex-Seattle.

how long is status good?
I have United Platinum status that expires December 31, 2017 (flew a ton last year, none this year). Will Alaska match me through 2018 even though I dont have status with United in 2018?

If you just matched how long is your 75k status good for? I am considering it.

Almost the same for me. I checked the app last night -- nothing. I checked this morning -- nothing. I checked an hour ago -- voila! MVP Gold 75K, good through 12/31/2018. Now I'm off to book some tickets...

Submitted a status match for SW CP 15 days ago. MVP Gold appeared this morning, good through 12/31/2018. I was expecting MVP Gold 75K based on previously research. Thoughts anyone? Thanks for any advice.

Are you also A-list preferred? Just curious if they matched that instead...
