How ReportLost works
You report the loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. We capture all the details needed to route your case to the right people.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes directly to Snohomish County authorities, Community Transit (if it's a bus item), local animal control (for pets), and relevant community groups so you don't have to make multiple calls.
Your report keeps searching for a match
For your entire search period, your report stays in the system, automatically cross-referenced with new found items and local alerts. You'll be notified immediately if a match appears, so you're not checking every day.

Common questions about lost items in Lake Goodwin
How long does Snohomish County keep found items?
County authorities typically hold property for a set period before disposal or donation. ReportLost makes sure your report is filed right away and stays in the system, but it's always best to contact the county directly at 425-388-3411 to confirm holding times for your specific item.
What if I lost something on a Community Transit bus?
Call Community Transit at 425-348-2350 or file an online report. Describe the item, the route, and the approximate time you lost it. ReportLost includes Community Transit in the report routing so they're notified of your loss and can match it against incoming found items.
Can I claim a found item at multiple county facilities?
Found items are typically held at the regional headquarters or the specific location where they were found. When you file with ReportLost, we provide you with the right contact point and address so you don't waste time calling around.
How do I report a lost pet in Lake Goodwin?
Contact the Everett Animal Shelter at 425-257-6000 or submit a lost pet report online through Snohomish County. ReportLost prioritizes pet reports, alerting all shelters and rescue networks in the region and keeping your pet's information active for the full search period.
What if my item is found weeks or months later?
This happens more often than you'd expect, especially if the item is distinctive or was turned in to a less-trafficked location. Your ReportLost report stays active for 12 months, continuing to cross-reference new found items and alerts, so you're covered even after your initial search efforts.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace reporting to the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that works alongside official channels, not in place of them. We route your report directly to Snohomish County authorities, Community Transit, and other relevant services, and we keep your case searchable for months. You're filing an official report through the right local system, just without the back-and-forth.
