A massive search for a missing 7-year-old was called off Sunday evening after the boy was found playing video games at a neighbor's house.

The search kicked off just after 2 p.m. in the 5900 block of 105th Place NE and involved approximately 50 members of Snohomish County Search and Rescue, four dog teams, the county sheriff's helicopter, and a "man tracker," a person specially trained in following almost imperceptible traces of a trail.

Jorgensen said the boy's parents had last seen him about noon, but called police when they couldn't find him after searching for two hours.

The search ended when the boy was found just after 5 p.m.

Jorgensen said she was getting a photo of the boy and getting ready to contact the news media about his disappearance when the child was found at a neighbor's home three doors down.

"He had no idea about all of the attention and all the activity that was going on in the neighborhood," Jorgensen said. "He was just having a great time playing Nintendo."

I wonder what the kid was playing. GameCube, SNES or NES? I totally understand why the kid could not be found. Man, we all know how addictive Nintendo games are!
