"stevenandteena" gave the best info.
A valid driver's license is sufficient for any domestic airline travel, including from the 48 states to Alaska (49th state) or Hawaii (50th).
An exception would be if you changed planes in Vancouver (Alaska Airlines routes some San Francisco and LAX passangers that way), AND it is after 12-31-06, then, from their website:
"Please note that as of December 31, 2006, documentation requirements for flights between the U.S., Canada and Mexico are changing due to new government regulations. The government recommends using a passport, however other documents may also be acceptable. Please note that acquiring a U.S. passport may take up to 6 weeks (or 2 weeks expedited)."
But if you connect in Seattle, or Portland, all you need is a driver's license.
Any "government-issued photo ID" will do. It could be a military ID card or a state ID card (issued by the DMV, it looks much like a driver's license). I have used, just to confirm it worked, my EPA lead-based paint inspector ID. They scratched their heads, but it was a government-issued photo ID and they let me through.

Yes’ I travel from the Bay Area to Anchorage and I use my CA drivers license and it has never been a problem, and I do that about 4-6 times a year.
I heard booking my next trip that Alaska Airlines starting Dec. 31, 2006 traveling in the U.S. you are also going to need a Passport, so you might want to check with that.
Hope this helped.

Why would you need your drivers license? They are both in the United States. Possibly if you are flying you will need it for identification purchases.

I think you should have an airplane of some sort too. The aerodynamics of driver's licenses usually won't help you fly.

No you have to buy a ticket?
I think they do accept drivers license as a form of a picture ID but I would double check as the restrictions are getting tighter. There is a whole list of what you can and can not do or take.

Both are US States - so a DL is sufficient. Just don't bring any liquids in your carry on.

Does your license have wings?
Amazing.
Alaska is not out of the country so you don't need a passport.

As long as the plane isn't stopping in Canada first, yes you can.
