We’ve heard of Southern accents and Boston accents. But is there such a thing as a Washington State accent?

Vince Nappo, a former resident of “The Evergreen State,” swears there is. “For example,” says the actor, “people there say ‘college’ very differently. ‘KAWL-edge.’ ”
Nappo is a graduate of Western Washington University in Bellingham. So he knows that the way he speaks — with an accent that comes from Woodhaven, Mich. — was not the reason he was chosen to play a native Washingtonian in “The Tangled Skirt.”
