Choose your meal before your flight.
First Class Pre-Select is available on most Boeing and Airbus flights over 3.5 hours. That's 100 flights daily, including all coast-to-coast and West Coast to/from Hawaii flights; we're planning to offer it on all flights in 2019. First Class guests can choose between two main dishes, or have an Alaska's Signature Fruit and Cheese platter, served on a plate.
To get started, make sure you’re using the latest version of the Alaska Airlines mobile app.
Here's how First Class Pre-Select works
First Class meal options can be reserved from 24 hours to two weeks prior to your flight.
Within the app, head to the Trips section and then select your upcoming flight.
Once you're looking at the full details for your upcoming flight, scroll down and click the "Food menu" option.
Next, you'll see a menu of the complimentary meals available on your flight.
Choose the meal you'd like, then click the arrow to confirm your choice.
Presto! Your meal is pre-selected. The flight attendant will deliver it during your flight's meal service.
Note: if you change flights, your meal choice will not transfer to the new flight. You'll need to make a new choice within that new reservation.

Pre-ordering is available on the route between PDX and ORD. I was able to preorder on the Westbound evening flight (cod or ravioli) AS 687, but didn’t get my upgrade on the Eastbound flight AS 686 until check-in so preorder seems to be closed, but still displays the options (omelet or sweet potato hash)

Click on your reservation in the app, swipe to the flight (if multiple flights), and scroll down. It will appear below Flight Details as "Food reservation Reserve Now" in the iOS version of the app.

Your guess on this actually happening by year end?

SFO /SEA flights are about 2:15 flight time. I am not sure pre order will be available for such a short flight. We fly SEA/LAX quite a bit and would love to have pre order. Alas, I don’t think it will ever be available as AS site states 3.5 hour flights and above will have this feature.

Not likely on flights under 3.5 hrs.

Pre order worked on my trip to HNL this week, and both times the FA had my choice (although I offered to change my choice the way back tonight as they had high demand for one item and I didn't care that much).
American has had preorder for a while, but it is not offered on American Eagle flights that have meals, so we may see similar limitations on Alaska.
