Neighbors: UW professor and author Taso Lagos
UW professor and author Taso Lagos first immigrated to Seattle with his family from Greece when he was just 9 years old. For 40 years, this family constellated around the Continental Restaurant on University Way NE, near the University of Washington. Several years ago, Taso’s parents closed the Continental and retired.
Taso and KUOW's Libby Denkmann walk the Ave. and talk about his memories of the U-District, and how the neighborhood and his parents’ old storefront has changed.
