GeekWire is an independent technology news site and online community based in Seattle, Wash. — covering the people, companies and innovations emerging from the Pacific Northwest and impacting the world.

The site was founded in March 2011 by John Cook and Todd Bishop, in partnership with startup veteran and investor Jonathan Sposato. 

As veteran technology journalists, with two decades of combined experience covering the tech beat, John and Todd have embraced the digital revolution and new online tools while attempting to stay true to the ethics and values of traditional reporting — digging through documents, talking with sources, getting out into the community and seeking to put the news of the day into larger context and perspective.
