Today, we’re beginning the creation of THE definitive pronunciation guide for Washington State. This will be part one of a three-part series looking at Washington’s notoriously difficult county, city and geographic names, so you’d better favorite these episodes if you want to sound like you’re from here.
For this episode, we’ll stick to the tricky county names. Of course, we’ll also have our monthly trivia quiz, and we’ll pepper in some Fast Facts to learn about how many of these places got their names. I’ll also have a few stories of my own to share about these places. And I’m going to plug these names into a text-to-speech app and see how the robots would pronounce them.
