Where your lost item might be
Here's what happens to lost items in Chain Lake and how to reach each location.
Snohomish County Sheriff
Items turned in to law enforcement are logged and held for a set period. We help you identify which precinct covers your loss location and draft the right description to include when you call.
Community Transit & Sound Transit
Lost something on a bus? Community Transit and Sound Transit hold items at their depots. We can point you to the exact phone line and online form to check, or let you know which transit service covers your route.
Local businesses & public places
Stores, restaurants, parks, and community centers often hold found items at their customer service desk. We generate the exact information you'll need to contact each location efficiently.
Lost pet?
If you've lost a dog or cat, time matters. The Everett Animal Shelter holds strays for a minimum of 72 hours, and local Facebook groups connect pet owners quickly. For a faster, more organized search tailored to pets, file a priority lost pet report.

Don't let your lost item slip away
The sooner you report it, the sooner our team gets to work routing it to every corner of Chain Lake. Once your report is live, the search happens automatically.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Chain Lake can feel scattered. Items end up at the Snohomish County Sheriff's office, community lost and found services, local bus depots, and social media groups all at once, and there's no single place pulling it all together. You'd normally spend hours contacting each office separately, hoping someone has what you're looking for.
ReportLost simplifies that. One report goes to the right channels at once, and your search doesn't stop after you submit it. Your report stays active and continues to check for matches across local services and community platforms for the full duration you need. Instead of checking back yourself every few days, you'll know when something comes up.
