![[Logo.png]]Hi, my name is Billie and my goal is to make the most comprehensive wiki-style website of Whatcom County history. The search bar is your friend but here are some good starting points if you like to browse: [[HISTORY OF STREET NAMES]] [[OVERVIEW WEST HOLLY]] [[OVERVIEW OF COAL MINES]] [[MINORITY BUSINESS INDEX]] I can be found around town or follow me on Instagram: [@goldenstar365](https://www.instagram.com/goldenstar365) :) Database size as of March 12, 2026: 184,000 words, 738 buildings, 2875 unique pages. May 19, 2026: 294,000 words, 750 building, 4084 unique pages. Please help me keep this project going. I am 14% towards my first goal of reaching $1250/month by working on history. # This website is made possible with the generosity of our lovely community of TOP TIER PATRONS AND [PATREONS](https://www.patreon.com/cw/NewWhatcomPress?utm_source=search): ![[Waterfront Logo.png]] # [THE WATERFRONT TAVERN](https://waterfronttavernseafoodbar.com/) at $100/month located at 521 West Holly St, Bellingham, celebrates over 100 years of Bellingham history. ![[IMG_2052.png]] # Brian at $50/month.
