If you track the 'great circle' from north korea to north america, the closet point to hit is alaska... but the more valuable targets would be LA or Seattle/Tacoma, and those ones would be pretty much the same distance regardless if the shot went polar or transpacific. Considering the thing would have to go over china and russia before it went to north america, I suspect NK would just as soon aim due east.
Of course, that presumes that they wouldn't rather do short-shots across the border and level that entire area, and then vaporize a big chunk of japan whom they've been a bit upset with since, oh, FOREVER... long before the US even existed. If you buy into that whole 'axis of evil' bullshit, then israel is a viable target and closer than crossing the pacific.
