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 founders Sara Holodnick and Marissa McGrath
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 Rivers in 2017.
Kolby and Wren
Kolby and Wren continue to offer the signature Good Time Girls walking tours, while expanding year-round programming and all-ages offerings of edutaining “BellingHistory.”
Kolby is a native "hamster" 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.
Wren is an armchair historian and public speaking nerd. She enjoys working as a junior stylist at Honey Salon. She has lived in Bellingham for 10+ years and specializes in bringing a ton of personality to her tours.
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 originally chosen as both a historic euphemism for sex-workers, and the implication of “good times” by our founders who figured they’d be the only 2 involved at the time.
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! (Just know it is a very-part-time labor of love).
