9. I think it's true.
I think we sound like TV and movie people, they rarely have accents. You know?

16. movie people? whats that?
Most movie characters are set in a particular place so they'll have accents. Wait movie people is what northwesterners call actors, ooooooooh I see.

15. I can hear it.
I have relatives in Washington state and in Oregon and I hear a slight accent. But I am very sensitive about accents too-I can easily identify the region usually.

26. It's like a slightly closed catch in the throat.
Really hard to explain it. I have an aunt who it is stronger in and I have caught hers and now I can catch it on others from the Northwest-just not as heavy.

42. awsome!
if you guys are up for walking, i highly suggest the 2-mile monuement tour. also the American History Museum and any other of the Smithsonian Museums. If you get there early enough, like 8am, you might be able to get tickets to the Capitol building.
