How it works
You describe your loss
Tell us what you lost, when, and where in Mill Creek. We gather the details needed to alert the right places.
We route it where it matters
We notify the Mill Creek Police Department, Community Transit, the Everett Animal Shelter (if a pet), and post to local social channels so the community can help.
Your report keeps searching
For your entire search period, your report remains active and cross-references new found posts, community updates, and lost-and-found notices. You don't have to check Facebook or call shelters daily, the matching happens in the background.
Where your lost item might be
Mill Creek's lost-and-found network spans police, transit, shelters, and community groups. We'll route your report to all the right places.
Mill Creek Police Department
The police hold found property for a minimum holding period and maintain a lost-and-found log. We contact them with the details of your loss and check which precinct covers your location.
Community Transit & Sound Transit
Left something on a bus? Community Transit and Sound Transit both maintain lost-and-found services. We generate the exact report info you need and point you to the right filing channel.
Lost or Found Pet
The Everett Animal Shelter holds stray animals for a minimum of 72 hours. If you've lost a cat, dog, or other pet in Mill Creek, your report gets priority routing and remains searchable across local pet networks. File a priority lost pet report.

The sooner you report, the better.
Once you file your report, the network springs into action. Every hour your description is circulating increases the chances someone has seen your lost wallet, ring, phone, or pet. Let us handle the notifications while you focus on retracing your steps.
