Report my lost item →Maltby sits quietly between Everett and Snohomish, and when you lose your wallet, ring, or phone here, finding it means navigating separate systems: the county sheriff handles some lost property, Community Transit manages items left on buses, local animal shelters hold strays, and social channels buzz with found posts scattered across Facebook groups and Nextdoor.
