Report my lost item →Bothell West residents know the frustration of losing a wallet, ring, or phone across different parts of town, whether it's near downtown, around the UW Bothell campus, or on a Community Transit bus. The problem is that lost and found systems are scattered between the police department, campus safety, transit authorities, and neighborhood groups, each operating separately. Calling one office, then another, then scrolling through social media to see if anyone has posted your item is time consuming and exhausting.
ReportLost simplifies this by consolidating everything into one report. You tell us what you've lost and where, and we handle routing the information to the Bothell Police Department, UW Bothell Campus Safety, Community Transit, and local community channels all at once. Better still, your report stays active during your entire search period, continuously cross-referencing new found items reports so you can focus on your day while the search continues in the background.
