Everett Transit, Lost & Found
If you lost something on an Everett Transit bus or at Everett Station, the transit system's Customer Service center maintains a dedicated lost-and-found operation. Items are held and searchable. We flag which items you're looking for so they can prioritize the search on their end.

Traveling through Paine Field and lost an item? The airport's lost-and-found desk reunites passengers with belongings left in the terminal or at security. We ensure your report reaches them promptly if your loss occurred at the airport.
City of Everett, City Hall
City Hall can direct you to the right department for items lost in public spaces or city facilities. They also maintain contact with neighborhood associations and can help clarify jurisdiction if you're unsure where to report. We know exactly which city department handles each type of loss.

The Everett Animal Shelter holds stray animals for a minimum of 72 hours. If your pet is missing, contact them immediately and check their found-animal listings.
