Yes! Expedia will probably give you the option of applying your Mileage Plan number when booking, and you can contact Alaska to have it added if not. AS doesn't place any restrictions on mileage earning when ticketed by other carriers like, say, UA does.

Yes, however it is almost certainly better to book your flight directly at alaskaair.com. That way if there are any issues with your ticket you can work directly with Alaska instead of having to go through Expedia's horrid support.

You can still earn miles, just make sure you enter your mileage plan number in passenger details. There are certain circumstances when it makes sense to book outside of Alaska, sometimes the hotel+flight bundles on Expedia can help save a couple hundred bucks!

Though a ticket purchased through Expedia would almost certainly be ticketed by Alaska anyway if it contains only Alaska flights, just like an Expedia ticket containing only United flights would almost certainly be ticketed by United and thus earn United miles. The difference relates to interline tickets ticketed by another carrier, not whether you purchase the ticket directly from the airline or through a travel agent.

Thank you for the help
Do I apply the flight details on the Alaska airmile site? Has anyone done this before? I tried looking around for a place to input the flight and what not, but I did not see an area to do it. Again, thank you.

It's in passenger details section on expedia when purchasing. If you don't see it don't sweat it. Once the transaction is done expedia will give you a confirmation code that you can use on alaska's site where you can view your itinerary and add your mileage number.
