Not true. People from Washington and Oregon have very little accent.

Of course you do

People from Washington say "baig" instead of "bag"

Exactly. Living in Seattle, we teased one of my Wisconsin co-workers for saying it.

I live in Oregon, tons of people here do this. "Bag" sounds like "beg."

People really don't hear it well when they live in it. It's natural

My family from Ore-gone and Warshington disagree.

I served my mission in Washington. I noticed people said Wushington.

Those people weren’t actually from Washington though.

Lol. Her Majesty the Queen would laugh at that statement.

People from Washington talk nasally

I think it's pretty clear there is a "neutral" American accent. Lots of people don't speak with one,

A neutral accent is more leaned

The internet is going to homogenize everything eventually. Especially language.

8/9/18 2:55pm

Eventually. It may take a while.
