I booked a direct fight from Oakland International Airport and after a bumpy four-hour ride the plane touched ground and I was ready to sightsee.

JetSuiteX to fly between Oakland and Seattle-Boeing Field

JetSuiteX, the company offering almost-private flights on the U.S. West Coast, will launch service between Oakland and Seattle's Boeing Field/ King County Airport on July 1, the company announced. Special introductory JetSuiteX fares are on sale for $99 each way between OAK and Seattle with taxes and fees included.
