Pronunciation of "T" in Seattle Accents
This video by a 5th-generation Seattleite demonstrates an aspect of the Seattle accent. The creator highlights that people from Seattle often don't pronounce the "t" sound in words and provides examples of place names that demonstrate this phonetic change. Interestingly, the creator also adds a note saying that this phonetic change is made because "we [Seattlites] are lazy," indicating an internalized language ideology associated with this accent.
