Yeah, Alaska does charge for checked bags. I found this out on a quick Portland trip when I showed up assuming my fare included one and ended up paying at the counter. It wasn’t a huge deal, but it taught me to double-check their fare types.
Carry-on has always been free in my experience, even on their cheaper fares. I usually travel with just a backpack and a little roller bag, and they’ve never given me trouble for that.
