On Sundays, we feature a great shot of our park or neighborhood from the MyGreenLake Flickr Pool. This week’s photo was shot by Benjamin Lukoff. Benjamin is the author of Seattle Then and Now, which presents archival photos of Seattle along with modern views of the same sites as they appear today. Benjamin took this photo, titled “Green-mouthed Buddha, Thai Ocean,” on Valentine’s Day. Thai Ocean is located at 401 NE Ravenna Blvd. A PDF of their lunch and dinner menu can be found here. Thank you, Benjamin!
