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
