Actually, it's closer to poo-yal-lup.

You can do it at a trot
you can do it at a gallop
you can do it nice and slow
so your heart don't palpitate
just don't be late
Do dah Puyallup

That's part of the little ditty they use to advertise their annual fair.

My husband says it's "PEW-WALLOP", and he was born here. For what it's worth.

I see the flag you fly is not from Washington State. Where did you hear an advertisement for the Puyallup Fair?

TheConservator is correct. The pronunciation is Pew-al-up. Probably whoever is doing the add is not from around here. I hear lots of "new" News anchors who don't know how to pronounce the names of places.
