PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A San Francisco couple and their two young children have been reported missing on a holiday trip to the Pacific Northwest, police said Thursday.
     
James Kim, 35, a senior editor for CNET Networks Inc., his wife, Kati, 30, and their two children, Penelope, 4, and Sabine, 7 months, left for a trip to Seattle on Nov. 17, according to Oregon State Police.

     
They were last seen by friends in the Portland area last Saturday, state police said. Ryan Lee of Portland said nothing seemed amiss as he ate breakfast with the family that day.
     
They reportedly planned to travel to Gold Beach on the southern Oregon Coast on their return to California.
     
When the family failed to arrive home in San Francisco by Monday, as expected, their family contacted San Francisco police, who listed the couple and their children as missing. 
     
The family made two phone calls to a Gold Beach hotel last Saturday, the second call at 5:45 p.m., Detective Angela Martin of the San Francisco police department told a Portland TV station.
     
According to police, the family reportedly asked the hotel clerk to leave a key outside since they would be arriving late that night.
     
The phone call was the last reported contact with the family. The Gold Beach hotel did leave keys out for the Kim family but the keys were still there the next morning, the station reported.
     
The Kims' vehicle was described as a silver 2005 Saab 900 station wagon displaying California personalized license plate DOESF.
     
Co-workers at CNET, a San Francisco company that operates technology news and product review Web sites, said they had not heard recently from James Kim, who always kept in touch daily by phone or e-mail.
     
"We're all upset," Sarah Cain, a co-worker.
     
Kati Kim's father, Phil Fleming, who lives in New Mexico, said that he and his wife are waiting by the phone for news.
     
"I don't know if there's much we can do right now but stay at home base," Fleming said.

Anyone with information on the Kim family is asked to call 911, or the Oregon State Police Northern Command Center dispatch at (800) 452-7888, or the San Francisco Police Department Missing Persons Unit, (415) 558-5508.
