Prices go even higher as it gets closer to the date. You are also trying to travel during Spring Break time. You also may find that you're just locked out of certain days since SB destinations can book quickly and sell out.While college students normally don't have funds, they seem to have funds to go to spring break destinations.
Try to be flexible with your dates.
Everyone wants to leave on Fridays and come back on Sundays. Everyone wants to leave either in the morning or at the end of the day. Try to be flexible to leave when others don't want to be travelling. This is why red-eye flights are cheaper since most people don't want to leave at midnight and arrive on the East Coast at 8AM.
Try mixing and matching your flight paths. See if you can get a good deal to anywhere on the East Coast, and then see if you can't find a reasonable connection.
From WA, you're already at a disadvantage because you have to get to the East Coast, that alone can add $300 to your airfare right off the bat.
