This story began with a call from San Francisco.

A teenager there had been looking at a tourist brochure for Seattle when the 13 year old saw something he didn't like. So he complained.

Kinen Carvala's family was planning a visit to Seattle and began thumbing through some travel brochures.

One of the brochures Kinen picked up was the Seattle Southside Vacation Planner published by the cities of Tukwila, SeaTac, Kent and Des Moines. The planner is filled with useful information. But it was the back cover that caught Kinen's eye.

"I'm wondering why they used a map of San Francisco when it's Seattle?" He said.

He's right. The headline says "visiting Seattle just got easier," but the man in the ad is holding a map of the Presidio area in San Francisco.

Why is Seattle using a map of San Francisco to sell themselves, Kinen wondered. And I thought that was an interesting question. So I went to the Southside Visitor Services Office in Tukwila to find out.

Communications coordinator Karla Lindula says the photo was meant to represent a confused tourist anywhere in the country and not in a specific city.

"We fondly call it the man with the map photograph," she said.

Lindula admits, they never really gave it a thought, but Kinen clearly did.

"When we go to reprint, we will definitely change out the photograph to something else, so then there won't be a concern in the future," she said.

But wait, there's more! The folks at Southside Visitor Services want Kinen and his family to come up for a visit.

"If he can make it up here, we would like to host him here. The Embassy Suites at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport would like to put him up and we'd love to give him a tour of Seattle," Lindula said.

KOMO's sister station in San Francisco gave gave Kinen the news.

"That's great!" Kinen said.

So this Problem Solver story has a happy ending. Kinen is happy, and his mom and dad are proud. Seattle Southside was a good sport and a good corporate citizen. And the city may have a couple of extra visitors come summertime.
