About Us
GUIDED HISTORICAL WALKING TOURS OF BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON
Great for locals and tourists alike!
we will show you BElling-history like you've never seen it before, with signature sass and well-researched facts.
Our tours focus on people from all walks of life, including sex workers, teetotalers, rough 'n tumble laborers, immigrants, rum-runners, and traveling preachers because their history is our history.
We feel history is extremely interesting and important, and also often hilarious. Our goal is to get people having as much fun with history as we do. We hope to get you thinking about the past, how it has shaped the present and what it can teach us going forward… all while having a good time.
Good Time Girls Founding Mothers Sara Holodnick and Marissa McGrath, above…
Started in 2011 by Marissa McGrath and Sara Holodnick, the Good Time Girls provide the only regular guided historical walking tours in Bellingham, Washington. The founding mothers passed the corset strings to former guides Kolby LaBree and Wren Urbigkit in 2017.
Kolby is a native "hamster," mother of three and resident of the Columbia-Eldridge neighborhood. She has a degree in anthropology from WWU and a background in historic preservation. She has been a tour guide and researcher with the Good Time Girls since 2012.
Kolby and Wren
Wren is an armchair historian and public speaking nerd. She enjoys working at the beautiful Mount Baker Theater, and teaching cello lessons. She has lived in Bellingham for 10 years and specializes in bringing a ton of personality to her tours.
We will continue to offer our signature seasonal costumed walking tours, while expanding year-round programming and all-ages educational offerings of “BellingHistory,” served up with our signature sass and humor.
Good Time Guides
Kolby and Wren lead many of the tours, with the help of current Good Time Guides Andra and Sarah. Our guides have a passion for local history and are trained in the art of storytelling.
We can’t wait to get historical with you all!
“Good Time Girls” is a name chosen from a variety historic euphemisms, at a time when two women were the only guides involved. While we love being a woman-owned-and-operated business we acknowledge the fluidity of gender and would love more diversity in our “guide pool” so don’t be shy to inquire and apply!
