Put a little bit of Portland on stage in Seattle: Chirpify, Elemental, Urban Airship vie for GeekWire Awards

It’s no secret that I have a bit of a good natured rivalry with our friends at GeekWire. Emerald City vs Rose City, Sounders vs Timbers… you get the drift. And I can’t think of any better way to stir things up than to put a few Portland companies on stage during their GeekWire Awards ceremony, next week.

Interested in doing more than voting? Well, you can attend as well. And we just heard that one of our favorite Seattle investors, Chris DeVore—who has invested in a few Portland companies—will be keynoting the event.

So get on that. Or both of those things. Or whatever.

Voting ends tonight.
