North Sound Voices
North Sound Voices brings experiences, ideas, and solutions from across the North Sound region to you. We believe in the wisdom of our region. We believe that our communities know what they need – and are demonstrating resilience every day. And we believe we are stronger together. When we listen to and learn from each other, we can do more than we ever could alone. Listen to this podcast to feel connected, inspired – and proud to call the North Sound your home.
North Sound Voices is based out of northwest Washington State: Island, San Juan, Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom counties, home to eight Tribal nations who have inhabited this land since time immemorial: Lummi Nation, Nooksack Tribe, Upper Skagit Tribe, Samish Indian Nation, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians, Tulalip Tribes, and Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe.
This podcast is produced by North Sound ACH, a nonprofit where collaborative learning is prioritized, crossing traditional jurisdictional boundaries, and looking upstream to tackle issues that impact health. We exist to create a just and inclusive culture and the necessary conditions for all community members to thrive. Visit us at northsoundach.org
