Drawings of Amazon’s proposed biodome project in Seattle.

May was a busy, busy month for us here at GeekWire. We hosted more than 800 of you at our big awards event at the EMP in Seattle and instituted some core changes on the backend of the site to help speed up delivery of pages.

And things aren’t slowing down now that we’re entering the summer months. We’ve got an exciting new product in the works that we’ll be telling you more about in the coming days. Stay tuned for that.

Today, for all of those who missed the action, we’re taking a look back at the most popular stories on GeekWire in May. Enjoy.
