Unlike most CA-US flights, you will go through customs in SEA.

Unfortunately your bag doesn't meet the carry-on requirements for any of Delta's aircraft, not even very close. I would not count on being able to carry it onboard.

You will need to change something. 15" is just not gonna fit and is really way over the 9" limits. Even if on mainline flights.

Even with larger OHs on some mainline aircraft, 6" is 2/3 above the limit. Any GA simply eyeballing the boarding line will pluck you out.
In your specific case, it is largely academic because one way or another, you need to schlep the bag through Customs at SEA.

People who bring a roller bag and a backpack on a CRJ.
...and sit on the single ‘A” side in FC where there is no overhead storage space are my latest pet peeve. The first three who do that wind up taking all of the available overhead space in FC.
Are your connections so tight that you can’t wait an extra 5 minutes after deplaning for the bag that you should have pink tagged and left at the gate?
Oh, wait, forgot. It’s all about you!

@EarlVolFan I'm afraid you're off base. Every passenger has the same carry-on allowance. It doesn't change based on where you sit. The overhead space is first come first serve.
"All about you" <- also off-base, in fact your gripe in this post is about you as you want people to sacrifice their own allowance while you sacrifice nothing.

So I'm confused as to what the "A" seat has to do with it. If they have two bags (roll-a-board or large rolling laptop bag that can't fit under the seat + personal item), the personal item should go under the seat in front of them but that should be case whether they're sitting in A, B, or C (unless in the bulkhead) so what is your gripe specifically with people in the A seats doing this and not just passengers in general who do this?
Want OH space? Board earlier...you can get to the front of the boarding line too! Or put it further back in the cabin, after all it's only a 5 minute wait for other passengers to go by then you can walk back there to grab your bag. OR you could be one of the people who are so impatient they force themselves up stream to get to the OH space instead of just waiting a couple minutes for everyone else to deplane..

I’m talking about regional jets. Every rollaboard should be valet tagged on a CRJ, IMO. There’s not enough room for rollers and personal items for everyone.
No one is ENTITLED to overhead space, but the apparently some folks feel that they can push to the front of the line with their roller, overstuffed backback and jacket and take up most of the overhead space, when the courteous thing to do would be to valet check their rollers.

Because apparently according to OP, it's implied that the overhead space you're allocated is ONLY the ones above your seats. Therefore since there is no OH space above the "A" seats THEY aren't allowed to use the OH because they are taking the OH space away from OP who sits in BC, and sense it is over THEIR head THEY are entitled to the OH space.

The courteous thing is never to demand something of others when it's not expected of them.
As to the complaint about pushing to the front of the line, that's a separate issue. Gates are crowded spaces and the line is often ill-defined. As long as you're boarding in the appropriate zone, and you're not literally pushing others out of the way to get to the front, there's not really an addressable problem.

If you’re in F and this is stressing you out, have a Woodford or have a Rum & Coke or have a glass of wine and relax.

I have the bag I have because it fits on a CR9. As to the "extra 5 minutes"....on what planet? 15 minutes....20 minutes...sometimes a half hour. I can't even begin to tell you how many connections I have made because I didn't pink tag my bag. No, I don't book them that close but delays happen. Doesn't matter anyway. It fits, I will use it.

Whether a bag must be valet-checked is a matter between DL and the passenger. If DL lets the passenger carry the two bags on, he can find space for them. If an FA wants to require that his second bag, the personal item, go under the seat in front of him, that is between the FA and the passenger.
It's basically tough luck. DL permits more carry-ons than there is space and does not do enough about it on small aircraft. Most AA regional carriers prohibit anything with wheels, no matter what size. It's all gate-checked. DL chooses not to do so.
But, you have chosen DL, so you play be its rules.
