The Capture the Daylight project, developed by Tulalip Public Health, aims to tackle a broad spectrum of challenges our community faces. From opioid addiction to online bullying, the issues we encounter often reflect those seen in the wider world—sometimes even in amplified form. At the heart of this initiative are community, connectedness, and action.
As you explore this site, you’ll find a wealth of information and resources on specific topics, as well as immediate opportunities to take action.
Yes. Possibly.
The answer really depends on us, as a community. The potential for positive change is huge, but the wild card is how we, as people, choose to get involved. The key is a holistic approach—one that doesn’t just offer resources but also builds real connections across the board. If we come together, use these tools, and actively participate, we can make a real difference.
One of the best ways to make a difference is just by showing up to the events Public Health is organizing for our community. Whether it’s a “Bring Your Own Device” picnic or a cross-generational game night, these gatherings are more than just fun—they’re opportunities to share stories, wisdom, and experiences across generations.
The value in simply being there, connecting with others, and showing that you care can’t be overstated. It’s through these small, everyday interactions that real change starts to take root.
This is just the beginning of a bigger plan. In this first phase, we’ve focused on four critical topics that are close to home: Opioids & Fentanyl, Bullying, Mental and Physical Health, and Education. Each of these areas touches our lives in different ways, and addressing them is the first step toward building a stronger, more connected community.
As we roll out more initiatives, you’ll see even more opportunities to get involved and make a difference. The journey has just started, and together, we can tackle these challenges head-on.
Mental & Physical Health
Each and every one of us contributes to the health and strength of our entire community. When we are mentally and physically healthy, we can live our lives to the fullest, and our people will thrive now and in future generations.
Fentanyl & Other Opioids
Opioids are extremely addictive and can be very dangerous. Even small amounts of fentanyl can lead to death by overdose. That’s the bad news. The good news is that there’s help available for you, for your loved ones, and for our whole community.
Physical & Emotional Safety
Every individual has a right to feel physically and emotionally safe in our families and in our community. Physical safety means living without the threat of being physically harmed, put in danger, or exposed to violence. Emotional safety means you feel accepted and embraced for who you are and what you feel.
Financial Literacy & Life Skills
Some children dream of being firefighters. Some dream of being ballerinas. Or owning a sweet shop. Or being a Tribal leader. Every child’s dream is a precious gift to the whole community, and we all want to nurture them. Of course, you’re never too old to have dreams, and you’re never too old to make them a reality.
