The official channels, and what ReportLost does on your behalf

Community Transit Lost & Found
If you left something on a Community Transit bus or at a transit center, submit a lost item report online or call. We identify the right transit hub for your route and file the report so you don't have to guess which depot has your item.

Lost Pet
If your cat, dog, or other pet is missing, report it immediately to King County Regional Animal Services. Found animals are held for 3 to 5 days, so speed matters. We generate the right information for your report and post to local pet networks simultaneously. File a priority lost pet report

The first few hours matter
Getting your report to the police, transit, and animal services quickly means your item is flagged while staff are still checking recent arrivals. The sooner you report, the sooner we can route and start the active search.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Covington means contacting multiple places separately, the police department, the transit company if it was on a bus, animal services if it's a pet. Each one has its own system, its own timeline, its own process. By the time you've made all the calls and filed reports everywhere, hours or days have passed, and your item may already be gone or overlooked.
ReportLost simplifies this. One form, one submission, and we route your loss to every relevant service and community channel in Covington. Better yet, your report stays active for months, continuously cross-checking against new found items and local posts so you don't have to spend weeks refreshing lost & found sites. Once you've reported, you can focus on your day, knowing the search is happening automatically.
