Nominator has been blocked for spamming. I am not closing this nomination so that it can be evaluated on its merits (or lack thereof) - just because they are a spammer doesn't mean they're wrong. MER-C 17:14, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at [1], I think it obvious that GeekWire is a routinely cited source. I was surprised to not find it on WP:RSP. If this is not closed procedurally, which I recommend given the behavior of the nominator in AfD'ing a lot of media articles, it likely should be kept.

Keep - Local technology news outlet that does get quoted and reprinted in other, more established sources (e.g. The Seattle Times) and has independent coverage. Definitely meets notability guidelines, even if the article is need of improvement (see Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup). Sounder Bruce 07:07, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
