Alaska Airlines has just posted an airfare promotion good for travel February, March, and into late April. Flights must be booked by Tuesday, January 21, so if you're planning on traveling during this time window, don't delay as the cheapest rates and best seats sell out first.
Sale fares start at $44 one-way, roundtrip travel is not required. Run your own itinerary's math because fares can be insignificantly cheaper or higher, especially on the return flight.

Alternate Fares
Alaska's Main fares are usually around $10-$35 more each way and include a wider selection of seats to choose from and allow ticket changes/upgrades for a fee. Checked bag fees are the same $30 each way.
Other major airlines that are matching are mostly Basic Economy fares with similar restrictions. The main difference is that United's Basic Economy only includes a small personal item. Southwest does not sell Basic Economy and includes two free checked bags.
A few routes may have lower fares on connecting flights or for travel on ultra-low-cost carriers like Allegiant, Frontier, Spirit, or Sun Country.
Example Booking
As an example, I found seats departing Boise on Wednesday, February 26, returning from Seattle on Saturday, March 7 for just under $93 roundtrip.
