is there such a thing as NorCal accent?

"hella" and the variation (which pisses me off big time) "hecka" are given. But I'm talking about an actual way they say their words.
One example my buddy used was "king". In NorCal, supposedly they pronounce it "keeng". I know it's subtle, but I just want to know one way or the other. I've tried googling it but I come up with nothing.
The other one is SoCal says "take the 15 north" where NorCal say "take 15 north".

It's weird because I sometimes say "hella" myself, and I know at least a couple people here that have nothing to do with NorCal that use it a lot.

I've lived in both places... not so much an accent difference. It's not like SoCal is the South or anything. But, one major difference is quite apparent, NorCal uses "Hella" often and we use "Dude." And if you don't use either, you don't count. XD
Now, having spent time up North, I happen to use Hella from time to time. But Dude will always be more prevalent. XP
