Absolutely. Even if only once a day to discharge and pickup. It was fine in the March rain for my one and only WN flight there and even had loads of extra runway for my personal Cessna 172...

New CP holder here who has flown Southwest in the past but not consistently. Looking to book flights from Portland OR to BWI on 8/19, but there are no Wanna Get Away fares available. That's also the case for the two previous Sundays, while they become an option again 8/26. Schedule also shows no nonstop flights on 8/19 at this point. When SW releases a schedule update/extension, does it roll it out in its entirety? Or can I expect these flights (WGA and/or nonstop options) to be added later?

Yes, they certainly could make more WGA fares available. It's rare for them to have schedule changes after a release, other than adding new service: MCI-RDU effective April 8 announced today is an example. I don't know if people see PDX-BWI as a likely add.

Pretty sure PDX-BWI was an existing route, which is why I was surprised to see the odd availability when the calendar was extended, though looking around the calendar nonstop service (on Sundays at least) does appear sporadic.
