Are there any non-stop Delta or Delta Partner flights from the Washington DC area to the Bay Area that depart around 7pm on Thursdays? I haven't found a good way to search Delta partners...
Thanks!
Thanks!

Simple answer, no
Long answer, no airline operates non-stop from DCA to the SF area because there is a restriction on flights > 1500 miles with limited exceptions (to airports in states with influential Senators) and neither Delta nor their partners operate non-stop flights from IAD or BWI. It is one-stop but if you go DC-MSP-SFO you can catch a 6:45-7:00 PM flight from DCA or IAD (the BWI is cutting it too close especially since that flight is an MD-90). That will allow you to connect to the 9:45 PM to SFO

WAS-West Coast is very difficult in one hop on DL or it's partners. One of the few exceptions is DCA-LAX on AS, which always costs more than the connecting flights.
I've done the DCA/BWI-SLC-LAX/SEA and vice versa. This isn't a bad hop and it's usually a 757 on the long leg. I've also done the DCA-MEM-LAX which isn't bad either.
For WAS-SFO non-stop I think United is your best option.
