Narrative:

Halfway to seattle, dispatch called to inform us the zero fuel weight we were given by operations was wrong. We had no reason to suspect an error when we were given the numbers because our takeoff weight was 200 pounds less than our dispatch weight. The zero fuel weight that we used was 111800 pounds, when it actually was 113700 pounds (a difference of 1900 pounds). We took off below maximum takeoff weight and landed under maximum landing weight. The takeoff from anc was normal and so was the climb and cruise. Descent and approach was flown with the corrected weight and was also normal.
