How ReportLost Works in Edmonds
You Submit Your Loss
Tell us what you lost, where in Edmonds it happened, and any details that help identify it. We gather the information once, so you don't have to fill out separate forms for the police, transit, and local groups.
We Route It to the Right Places
Your report is shared with the Edmonds Police Department, Community Transit's lost and found system, PAWS (if it's a pet), and relevant local Facebook groups and Nextdoor. We handle the coordination so you can focus on other things.
Your Report Keeps Searching
For 12 months, your report stays active and continues to be cross-referenced with new found item reports, community posts, and lost and found updates. You'll get alerts if we find a credible match, so there's no need to monitor the web yourself every day.
Where to Report a Lost Item in Edmonds
Local lost and found resources, and how ReportLost simplifies reporting to all of them.
Edmonds Police Department
The Police Department maintains a lost and found for items found in public spaces or turned in by the community. You can file a report in person, by phone, or online. ReportLost tells you exactly what information to include and handles the submission for you.
Community Transit Lost & Found
If you lost something on a Community Transit bus in or around Edmonds, the Ride Store maintains a lost and found system. Items are typically held for a set period. ReportLost ensures your report reaches their system and keeps you informed of any matches.
City of Edmonds
Edmonds City Hall serves as a central point for community services. If your item was lost at a municipal facility or you need guidance on local resources, the city can help direct you. ReportLost points you to the right department.
Lost Pets
Stray animals found in Edmonds are brought to the PAWS facility in Lynnwood, which also covers Edmonds. Active local groups like "Edmonds & Lynnwood, WA Lost Pets" on Facebook help reunite families with their companions. If your pet is missing, file a priority lost pet report to get immediate local visibility.
Shops & Public Spaces
Local businesses, restaurants, parks, and waterfront areas all hold items that are turned in or found on their premises. ReportLost helps you document your loss so if someone finds your item and reports it, there's a record matching it to you across multiple channels.

The sooner you report, the sooner the search begins.
Getting ahead of the loss matters, especially in the first few hours and days. Once your report is filed with ReportLost, our system starts matching it against new found item reports and community posts across Edmonds, and continues to do so throughout your search period. You've done your part, and the search works for you.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Edmonds can feel overwhelming, especially when you're not sure where to even begin. Items go missing at the downtown waterfront, on Community Transit buses, at local shops, and in parks scattered across the city. Each place has its own lost and found system, its own phone number, its own reporting form. Many people give up after contacting one or two places, assuming their item is gone for good.
ReportLost simplifies the entire process. Instead of tracking down the Edmonds Police Department, calling Community Transit's Ride Store, posting individually to Facebook groups, and hoping someone notices, you file one report with us. We immediately connect your loss to the right local channels, and then your report continues searching on your behalf for months. Once you've reported, you can breathe, knowing the search is underway without daily effort on your part.
