How ReportLost works in Cedar Mill
You report your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We gather all the details needed to reach the right local channels without you having to call each one separately.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Beaverton Police Department, Washington County Animal Services (if applicable), Cedar Mill community groups, and local social networks. You don't have to hunt down phone numbers or figure out which agency covers your area.
Your report keeps searching for you
For your entire search period, your report stays active and searches for matches against newly posted found items, community alerts, and marketplace listings. No need to refresh Facebook groups or Nextdoor every day. When a potential match appears, you'll get an alert.
Where your lost item might be
And who to contact if you go it alone
Beaverton Police Department
Cedar Mill is patrolled by the Beaverton Police Department. For lost items found on the street or in public spaces, or to file a theft report, contact non-emergency dispatch. We generate the right details to include when you report, so you don't have to worry about what the police need to hear.
Public Transit (TriMet area)
If you left something on a TriMet bus serving Cedar Mill, contact the transit authority's lost and found. We can tell you which transit routes serve your area and what information to provide when you call.
Lost Pet
If your dog, cat, or other pet is missing, every hour counts. Washington County Animal Services holds lost pets and can help reunite you, but they hold animals without ID for a limited time. Report it to local animal control right away and post to Nextdoor and lost pet Facebook groups. For the fastest path and ongoing alerts, file a priority lost pet report.
Retail & Community Spaces
Check with stores, restaurants, parks, and libraries where you may have left your item. Many keep lost & found areas staffed during business hours. We help you remember which places you visited and what to tell them when you call.
Community & Social Networks
Cedar Mill neighbors share lost and found posts on Nextdoor, Facebook groups, and r/beaverton. Instead of posting separately to each platform, we broadcast your report to the key local communities so people know to keep an eye out.
⚠️ Spotted incorrect or outdated information? Let us know so we can review it.
Get your report started
The sooner you report, the sooner your item can be found and connected back to you. Your report stays active while you go about your day.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Cedar Mill means contacting the police non-emergency line, checking with the transit authority if you lost it on a bus, calling animal control if it's a pet, and then posting across multiple Facebook groups and Nextdoor to reach neighbors. It's a scattered, time-consuming process, and each place has its own timeline and procedures. ReportLost simplifies all of that. One form replaces a dozen phone calls and forum posts.
The difference: your report doesn't sit in a single lost & found desk or disappear after a few weeks. It stays active, automatically cross-checking new found reports and community posts against your description for months. You report once, we handle the routing and the ongoing search, and you get peace of mind knowing your item is still being looked for even when you're not.

Questions about losing and finding in Cedar Mill
How long does the Beaverton Police Department keep lost items?
There is no set citywide standard published, so it varies by location and what was found. Items found at a police station or turned in by officers may be held for 30-90 days. Call non-emergency dispatch at 503-629-0111 to ask about a specific item and how long it will be kept.
What if I lost my pet in Cedar Mill?
Call Washington County Animal Services immediately at 503-846-7039. Animals without ID are typically held for 72 hours (3 days) before becoming available for adoption. Check in person if you can, post to Lost/Found Pets – Washington County Facebook groups, and use Nextdoor to alert neighbors. The sooner you report, the better your chances.

Contact non-emergency dispatch at 503-629-0111 to confirm the item has been found and received by police, then ask where and when you can collect it. They'll provide the precinct location and hours.
Can I search TriMet's lost & found database online?

What should I post to Nextdoor or Facebook to maximize visibility?
Include a clear description (color, size, brand, distinguishing marks), where and when you lost it, and a way to contact you. ReportLost composes this for you based on your report, so it's clear and consistent across all platforms.
