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

Spoke Anne? Did I get it right?

Basically

More like Spo-Can

I've heard people say it as wrong as Spo-Cane before which was pretty rough

The easiest way to spot someone from out of the area is when it rains, ask them about the weather. We've got a lot of words for rain up here in Washington, so what they pick will say a lot.
