Get ahead of the search
The sooner you file a report, the sooner all channels are alerted and your search becomes active. ReportLost handles the notifications and keeps monitoring for matches in the background, giving you breathing room to think clearly.
Report my lost item →Mill Creek East residents navigate a fragmented system when something goes missing: the Police Department holds some items, Community Transit manages bus finds, animal shelters handle strays, and local Facebook groups and Reddit threads scatter the rest. It's easy to overlook a channel and lose weeks in the process.
ReportLost cuts through that maze. One submission, and we notify all the relevant offices and communities at once. But the real difference is what happens next: your report stays active, continuously cross-referencing new finds and posts against your description, so you can focus on your day instead of refreshing search pages. Once you file, the search becomes systematic and ongoing.

Can I search found items online before calling?
Some agencies post found items on their websites or social media, but inventory is not always current. Calling directly is faster and more reliable. ReportLost automates this follow-up by staying in touch with these offices for you.
How long does ReportLost keep my report active?
Your report remains active for either 12 months, depending on the option you choose when filing. During that time, we continuously cross-reference new found items, community posts, and shelter listings against your description. You'll receive an alert if a credible match surfaces.
Is ReportLost.org official, or does it replace calling the police?
ReportLost is an independent service that routes your report to official agencies and community channels on your behalf. We are not affiliated with Mill Creek Police or other government offices, but we connect you to them and manage follow-up notifications. Filing with ReportLost does not replace a police report if your item was stolen; for theft, contact the Police Department directly at (425) 407-3999.
