Alaska Airlines opened reservations this morning for departures starting on 11 February 2019, including an inaugural flight to Las Vegas. Seats are on sale starting at $39 one way, though the inaugural is more expensive.

There is always a chance that Southwest Airlines or United Airlines, the other two carriers planning to serve Paine Field, show up with an earlier start date. That happened with the restoration of flights to Cuba when JetBlue swooped in after the others announced schedules. But, for now, February 11th is the focus.
UPDATE: Southwest no longer intends to serve the airport so only United could spoil this party now.
.@SouthwestAir will no longer start service at Paine Field, it has transferred slots for planned five daily flights to @AlaskaAir. Alaska will operate up to 18 daily flights from PAE in early 2019, subject to govt approvals
