Lots and lots of new routes in the northwest coming for both Delta and Alaska. Just wait.
Delta’s daily non-stop service between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., begin June 5 (on Delta’s affiliate SkyWest Airlines).
Delta will fly four daily round-trip flights from Seattle to San Diego starting June 2 and the same number to Portland beginning Sept. 2. Both routes will be operated by Delta Connection partner SkyWest on Bombardier CRJ-900 regional jets.
Delta's new service from Seattle to San Jose will be operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest Airlines using 76-seat, two-class CRJ-900s.
Beginning December 20, 2014: Delta's new service from Seattle to Phoenix, Palm Springs and Tucson will be operated by Delta Connection carrier SkyWest Airlines using two-class, 76-seat aircraft, while Jackson Hole service will be operated with two-class, 65-seat aircraft.
Beginning June 9, Alaska will offer twice daily flights between Salt Lake City and Portland. The morning flights between the two cities will be operated by SkyWest Airlines
On June 9, Alaska will also add a third nonstop flight to its existing service between Salt Lake City and Seattle, which will be operated using a CRJ-700 aircraft.
And no offense to Horizon but SkyWest has before and will again fly between SEA and PDX.

I agree it's a shuffling of routes. That's what I was trying to say, but I guess I didn't say it well. With Mainline and Compass expanding their presence out west it looks like a net loss to me from what Skywest is doing now

The biggest route SkyWest has "lost" to Compass is LAX-SFO, I know Compass will start doing LAX-SAN and LAX-PDX but I believe SkyWest will continue to do some of that as well... other then that if you look the the previous post of all the new stuff out of SEA. SkyWest is technically gaining more west coast routes.

These routes won't last. Delta is trying to go toe to toe with Alaska on these routes that are mostly flown with a Q. Especially the SEA-GEG route couple mainline flights rest Q's good luck trying to compete with a 900.

Delta is not dumb.. They have been doing these routes for a long time!! You just didn't know it. Called code sharing.. They know exactly how many seats they can and have sold. I predict Alaska to switch to the star alliance.. As it looks the Alaska/Delta love has come to a end.. (I think the restricted Delta pilots contract, when it comes to code share has done them well)

I know all about them I used to fly for QX and spent many a DH's in back talking with a lot of loyal Alaska/Horizon passengers. Think Midwest days type of loyalty and for as long as the AS/QX name exists people will fly them.

Doesn't specifically state SkyWest is flying it, but it will be a CRJ-700 operator so chances are highly likely.
Delta also is starting non-stop service between Spokane and Los Angeles with one flight daily beginning June 10.
Seattle to L.A. flights will depart at 6.40 a.m., 11.54 a.m. and 6.55 p.m daily. Flights from L.A. to Seattle leave at 8:31 a.m., 3:20 p.m. and 9:20 p.m.
From Spokane, the flight will leave for L.A. at 6:45 a.m. daily. The L.A.-Spokane flight leaves at 7.50 p.m.
Both the Seattle and Spokane flights will be year-round and operated by SkyWest Airlines (as a Delta Connection).
