When is your flight?
All flights to PDX should depart from Terminal 2. I would still recommend checking flight status before leaving for the airport.

AS uses International boarding area A. So the gates would be A1-12
I'd still go to T2.

The Alaska app lists neither the departure gate nor the terminal for flights today (eastern time, i.e. July 15) out of SFO, though it does list the arrival gate in PDX (C7 for AS389, the 06:00 departure). The app really ought to list at least the departure terminal in this situation, IMO. Any gate in T2 will at least get people to the right terminal; if the gate changes within T2 later, no big deal.

According to the Event Timeline in FlightStats, the departure gates for Saturday's SFO-PDX flights haven't been assigned yet. They all show Terminal I, which I'm guessing is an AS default.
As others suggested, T2 is your best bet.

AS389 now shows gate 50A (though I have to go to the terminal map to confirm that that's in T2; the app doesn't say). AS should do better here, I think.

Midway through my SFO-PDX-SEA flight today and departure from SFO was from T2, 50B as I would expect based on discussion here and past announcements. There were no references on the AS App 'Flight Detail' screen, no text or email notification regarding departure terminal.
As a suggestion - I would encourage AS operations to coddle every flier with friendly reminders until the time where T2 is permanent for domestic travel (at least).
During the boarding process three couples passed through F looking and sounding very frustrated as they were at T1, the wrong terminal, and had to hurry to T2 for boarding.
I am not a fan of the execution of operations at SFO (merger related only) and have therefore eliminated SFO travel as much as possible during this transition.
I can put it another way; If I had to send my parents on a trip from or to the bay area, and coordinate any type of transportation, I would not use SFO. The lack of definitive terminal information for incoming or departing flights take the comfort level out of a well prepared trip.
I can tell you, that the folks who passed by in the cabin certainly don't have a warm and fuzzy for AS right now.
Invoking another thread topic to underscore my point: How can I possibly set my sights on MM'er when I can't get to the right terminal to post my BIS miles? LOL

The international terminal at SFO has gates "A" or "G". No "I" gates there. Terminals at SFO are numbered 1-3, though I don't think Int'l Terminal has a number. AS needs to do more about putting a terminal ID on all references to gates at SFO.

A bit of perspective: AA operates from four terminals at DFW. I've had my flight change terminals (not gates) twice in 90 minutes.
