You can definitely tell it's a non-native by what they call those places
Also how they pronounce some of the smaller cities
Like Chelatche
Is it: Chee-latt-chai?
Haven't heard anyone say chelatchie out loud before, but I live in the pnw and I would guess it would be pronounced cheh-latch-ee, which is similar to how "Wenatchee", a pnw city, is pronounced (not helpful but interesting nonetheless).
Very close, sha-latch-ee
No worries though
It's a really small place and the closer one lives to it the more likely I've seen people be able to get it
Spokane is a fun one to hear people say though when they're from a few states away
