I definitely speak with the PacNW dialect. People from around here claim they have no dialect or accent, but they're wrong! People in the Pacific Northwest pronounce "for" as "fur". There are other things too, but most people here have been speaking that way for so long that they don't notice they have an accent.
I'd be interested to know what Chinook jargon loanwords they're talking about. I don't really see the PacNW dialect having a particular influence from California; I think the influence is more from Canada.
Where did you get this article, bobby?
