WS1696 - December 21 - Flight Route?

Was wondering whether anyone had information as to why WS1696 took the routing that it took on Dec 21.

Looks like this flight is taking quite a detour from YVR to LAX, as well, the flight also flew at 25000ft only?

Just guessing.
Looks like the flight was fueled for a Hawaii trip last night.

Rather than defueling this was done to burn enough fuel to meet the landing weight.
Again just speculating.

I think youd be correct. It can take hours to arrange a defuel, and with the chaos in YVR I imagine it wasnt feasible.
