TODAY'S TOP STORIES

We took the GeekWire Podcast on the road this week, but not very far — recording the show in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood, the “Center of the Universe,” just a few blocks from our own offices, with a lively crowd, great beer, and plenty to talk about in Seattle tech and beyond.

The special event at Fremont Brewing was presented by the Fremont Chamber of Commerce.

We debate whether Seattle is positioned for the next wave of tech, float future candidates for Seahawks and Sonics ownership, and hear from Fremont Chamber Executive Director Pete Hanning about the neighborhood's tech scene. Plus, Fremont-themed Seattle tech trivia.
