A Northwest Tid Bit

As someone who grew up in Wenatchee (with a Russian grandmother, Filipino grandfather, and Canadian father) but went to college on the East Coast, I can't help but be fascinated by accents and dialects. My co-workers and I were just arguing the other day about West Coast accents, and although I KNEW there was something different about the way we speak here, I couldn't put my finger on it accurately enough to make a good argument. --A. D., Wenatchee
