I didn’t know this was a thing, but it was a doorway built into the aircraft for optional use as an additional emergency exit for airlines that put in the maximum number of seats and Alaska Airlines doesn’t use it (only a handful do), so as part of the final construction of the airframe it was “plugged” and covered up!
