From who's point of view?
If you live in Spokane and need to go to North Seattle/Everett for the day, the times are pretty decent.
I'm guessing their route-planning group have enough details to know in which direction there's more morning demand vs evening demand.
As for the route, I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. I would have never predicted this months ago
(oh wait, I did predict exactly this -- note PAE-ANC will be next)

and the drive to any of those offices in the Northgate/Lynnwood area (or Redmond/Woodinville on the east side) will likely be a lot easier from PAE than SEA

I see PAE's future as lousy as long as it's limited to a small number of flights. Of course, eventually, it could be just an all 737-900ER airport.
Whenever there's new service, it means some existing service must be cut. Not very good.
Since there are 3 gates (1, 2A, 2B), not 2, there should be at least 6 more flights allowed. Either that or have a flight with two sections, such as AS flight 9001 leaving PAE for SFO at 6:30 am and a second section leaving at 5 pm. Then technically one flight.
