Ketchikan, Alaska, United States and Blaine, Washington, United States, as the crow flies: 579 miles (932 km)
From that subtract about one mile on the WA side (Blaine is right on the border closest to AK. Subtract 57 miles on the Alaska side as the southern tip of the Alaskan panhandle is south of Ketchikan.
So 501 miles give or take 2 miles.

You can't drive to the southernmost points in Alaska.
From Seattle to Anchorage, it's just over 43 hours of driving though! That's 2360.13 miles!
Seattle to Juneau is a bit less, being just under 40 hours of driving with 1842.57 miles!

It's less than 1000 miles between Alaska and Washington. However, it's going to be much further if you're searching for populated places.
