The sooner you report, the better
Each hour that passes is an hour a found item could be moved or discarded, or a community post could be buried in someone's feed. Filing your report today means we can start connecting it to the right channels and community networks immediately. Once it's filed, the ongoing search happens on its own.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Lynnwood means contacting multiple places separately: the police non-emergency line, Community Transit if it was on a bus, the city's lost and found portal, animal control if it's a pet, and hoping someone posts it in one of several Facebook groups. It's fragmented and exhausting, and the longer an item sits unclaimed, the harder it becomes to track.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report, filed once, reaches all the right channels at once. More importantly, your report doesn't disappear after a day or two. It stays active for your entire search period, continuously cross-referencing new found items and community posts against your description. You won't have to refresh Facebook groups or call back every few days. The search works for you.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Lynnwood Police hold lost property?
The Lynnwood Police Department holds lost items for a period of time before disposal (exact retention varies by category). This is why early reporting is important: we ensure your loss is documented and searchable while the item may still be in custody.
How do I retrieve a lost item if it's found?
If your item is recovered, you'll be notified through the channel that found it (police, transit, shelter, or community post). You'll then contact that entity directly to pick up or arrange return. We'll provide you with all the contact and identification information you'll need.
Can I report lost items left on Community Transit buses?
Yes. Community Transit holds items for a limited time at their Lost and Found office. File a report with them by phone at (425) 348-2350 or online. ReportLost will make sure this report is filed correctly and routed in parallel with other channels.
What if I lost something at Seattle-Tacoma Airport?
Contact SEA's Lost and Found directly at (206) 787-5312 (open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pacific Time, 7 days a week). Items are held on the Baggage Claim Level. ReportLost ensures you file the right claim form and follow up appropriately.
Does ReportLost replace calling the police or visiting the lost and found in person?
No. ReportLost is an independent service that coordinates and manages your report across multiple channels simultaneously. We file on your behalf, post to community networks, and keep your search active for months so you don't have to. But the actual recovery depends on the official agencies and community members who hold or find items.
